[Properties, effectiveness and thermal processing of thermoluminescent dosimetry material].

Under dosimetric terms, TLD materials are part of the TLD system. A rating of their dosimetric properties and of effects of influence quantiés cannot solely be based on their physical properties but requires the consideration of influences also of the other components of the respective TLD system, TLD evaluation programme and TLD operator. Taking into account all criteria, coefficients of variation of around 0.1% were achieved for reproducibility measurements with individual TLDs. A fast method for pre and post annealing is proposed.
