Comparison of the dosimetric response of 4-elements OSL and TL passive personal dosimeters

The LiF-TLDs and BeO-OSLDs tested satisfy the dosimetric requirements for their use as passive personal dosimeters in photon fields. For this reason, a study of the simplicity, reusability, amount of dosimeters read each month or automation in the handling and reading process can be helpful to decide the best option. The choice between one of them from a dosimetric point of view might also depend on the importance given to the different criteria here studied.
