A new method to study of reproducibility of the thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and their calibration was carried on and compared with the method previously used by the BNCT research group of IPEN/CNEN. In this new method, aimed to indentify the relations between the individual response of certain types of TLDs with their average response, it was observed a relation approximately constant even at different irradiations. From these relations, normalization of TLDs responses were made, and this method was compared with the method previously adopted by BNCT research group of IPEN/CNEN given better responses. With this new method, the dose response calibration o were made for two gamma sources, with different energies,60Co and 137Cs, for doses ranging from 20 mGy to 1 Gy, and it has been possible to observe the response dependence of these TLDs on energy.Keywords:Downloads
