Abstract
In mannose, grain-size and grain-size band width have been shown to ha ve considerable effect on lyoluminescence (LL) yield and fading charac teristics. The effects of these on sensitivity and reproducibility of dose interpretation are reported in this work. Dose reproducibility of better than 0.3% is recorded among narrow grain-size band samples whi le dose coefficient of 5.31 change in LL yield per Gy is obtained for the more uniform grain-sized samples.
