Abstract
LiF:Mg,Cu,P sintered pellets were tested in relation to their exoemissive p roperties, to verify the possibility of their use for alpha radiation detec tion. The main dosimetric characteristics as the main glow peak occurring a t about 207 degrees C when irradiated with Am-241 sources, a linear TSEE re sponse as a function of irradiation rime and flux emission, and its suitabl e reproducibility show their usefulness for alpha radiation detection.
