The influence of the dose assessment method on the LET dependence of the relative luminescence efficiency of LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P

In relation to this issue, different dose assessment methods, i.e. peak height, signal integration over different regions of interest (ROIs) and glow curve deconvolution, were compared and their influence on the measured relative luminescence efficiency values was assessed. For both LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P detectors, no relevant differences were found in the relative luminescence efficiency evaluated by means of main peak height, main peak ROI and main peak deconvolution. On the other hand, if the integration of the signal is extended to the high temperature zone (248-310 °C) of LiF:Mg,Ti or the low temperature zone (125-185 °C) of LiF:Mg,Cu,P, significant deviations were found.
