Abstract
This study describes the response of the thermoluminescent dosimeter C aF2:Tm to protons from a Van de Graaff accelerator, with energies betw een 0.7 and 3.0 MeV and doses between 5 and 350 Gy (Cs-137 gamma-equiv alent). Glow curve analysis indicates that the response is similar to that for alpha-particles, and depends on proton energy, dose and stora ge time.
