Abstract

The present investigation reports the combustion synthesis of Cu, Eu and Mn doped CaSO4 phosphor and study of their luminescence properties such as TL, PL and OSL. Cu, Eu and Mn are act as activator to explore the possible compound for TLD application. Thermoluminescence dosimetry has been very successful in monitoring the personnel level doses due to high sensitivity and reusability. However, these dosimeters saturate at high doses involved in radiation processing. The TL readings were carried out between 24 and 32 h after irradiation using a Harshaw 3500 TL reader and PL were measured by FLS1000 Spectrometer.
