Abstract
Thermoluminescent dosimetric characteristics of MgB4O7:Dy,Na are presented. MgB4O7:Dy,Na is a newly prepared TL material with attractive features for dosimetric applications, such as near-tissue equivalence, simple glow curve , high sensitivity and low fading. The dosimetric properties of this materi al examined in this study include glow curve shape, TL sensitivity, anneali ng procedure, photon dose response, minimum detectable dose, precision of T L measurements, reproducibility, energy response and fading characteristics .
