Abstract
Thermoluminescent dosemeters of LiF:Mg,Ti, LiF:Mg,Cu,P and CaF2:Dy wer e used as secondary standards in calibration measurements of X-ray emi ssion from a laser-produced aluminium plasma. Relative sensitivities o f the thermoluminescent dosemeters were found to be independent of dos e rate over a wide dose rate region. The photon detection efficiency o f thermoluminescent dosemeters is compared to that of semiconductor Si photodiodes. The thermoluminescent dosemeters are presented as a powe rful tool for testing of capability of a semiconductor photodiode dete ctor of X-ray pulse energy emitted from the laser-produced plasma.
