摘要
A new radiochromic thin film dosimeter has been developed for use in radiation processing. The dosimeter's properties are similar to diose of the commercially available FWT-60-00 Radiachromic Detectors with three key differences: 1) a lower sensitivity allows reading the optical density at the peak of the absorbtion spectrum (ca. 600 nm) for absorbed doses to over 50 kGy, 2) a radiation-insensitive dye additive allows for automatic thickness correction, and 3) another additive extends to higher doses the agreement between gamma and E-beam calibrations. The dosimeter is analyzed for its sensitivity, temperature and humidity dependencies, stability, reproducibility, and agreement of gamma and E-beam calibrations.
