摘要
The ESR spectrum of unirradiated modem aragonite coral (CaCO3) material from the Red Sea (Hurgada area) is characterized by four signals with spectroscopic splitting factors of g = 2.0056, 2.0030, 2.0006 and 1.997. The most intensive and stable line in this spectrum is attributed to CO2- radicals at g = 2.0006 +/- 0.0005. The dose response from 50 mGy to 20 Gy, energy dependence and effective atomic number are calculated so as to investigate coral as a dosimeter material in the clinical dose range. The lower experimental gamma-dose limit was found to be 50mGy with signal-to-noise (SIN) ratio of 15. The combined and expanded uncertainties accompanying these measurements are 1.72% and 3.44%, respectively. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
