TLD: intrinsic energy dependence

Davis et al.

down to 0.9 (0.6 % Type A uncertainty,

k

=1, x-ray beams, LiF:Mg,Ti).

Nunn et al.

down to 0.885 (3.5% combined standard

uncertainty,

k

=1, x-ray beams, LiF:Mg,Ti).

Carlsson Tedgren et al.

bq

down to 0.935 (1.9%

combined standard uncertaintiy,

k

=1, x-ray beams,

LiF:Mg,Ti). They also discussed potential differences

due to TLD handling and formulation, and expressed

concern regarding the applicability of determinations

obtained using x-ray beams to other photon fields.

Rodriquez and Rogers minimized the difference

between Λ measurements in the literature and MC

calculations and arrived at
