Abstract
This paper presents the main dosimetric characteristics of newly prepared, complete tissue-equivalent thermoluminescent dosimeters Li2B4O7:Cu,In, and Li2B4O7:Cu, in the form of sintered pellets. The dosimetric characteristics of lithium berate thermoluminescent dosimeters examined in this study, inc lude glow-curve shapes, TL sensitivity, photon dose response, minimum detec table dose, relative photon energy response, fading, reproducibility, preci sion of dose measurements and annealing procedure.
