Sensory properties of dosimetric materials under conditions of parameter fluctuations: Monte Carlo method

The results of ab initio calculations of the thermoluminescent and phospho-rescent characteristics of semiconductors used in dosimetric studies, free from any approximations, are presented. A scaling procedure is proposed to model the sensing capabilities of dosimeters of different types. This makes it possible to establish the scope of various approximations used in practical dosimetry to explain similar experimental data. For the first time, the role of statistical factors determining the range of changes in the energy and kinetic parameters of luminescent processes of actual dosimetric materials in forming their sensory characteristics was investigated. The proposed approach can com-plement the computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) technique, widely used to assess the structure of energy levels and kinetic coefficients of actual dosimetric materials. The capabilities of the new method are implemented in the Lumini calculation package.
