Abstract
The thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve, glow-spectrum and the TL-outpu t versus gamma-irradiation dose relationship of a copper(I) activated silica glass have been studied. Considering the high thermoluminescenc e efficiency, long trap-storage capability, good TL reproducibility an d relatively high dose-saturation limit of the glass, it is suggested that the material can be used as a good gamma-ray dosimeter in the dos e range 4-400 Gy.
