Abstract
The alanine EPR dose-response curve was proposed to follow a saturatin g exponential function. In this study the characteristic parameter D-3 7 Of the exponential function was estimated for two types of dosimeter s and different EPR spectrometer configurations. The results suggest t hat only below about 0.3 mW the alanine EPR signal is not saturated wi th microwave power. A unique alanine calibration curve is suggested fo r measurements with non-saturating microwave power. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
