Comparison of the TL responses of two different preparations of LiF:Mg,Cu,P irradiated by photons of various energies

The aim of this work is to present the results concerning the photon irradiation of a new phosphor, the LiF:Mg,Cu,P+PTFE, produced at the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares (ININ—Mexico). The photon irradiations were performed using X-rays of 16, 24, 34.5, 42, 100 and 145 keV, and γ rays from 137Cs (662 keV) and from 60Co (1 252 keV). The results obtained are normalized to the 60Co response. The experimental data are then compared to those obtained using the commercial dosimeters TLD-100 and GR-200A.
