Optical absorption of polycarbonate (makrofol e)‎ as means of gamma-ray dosimetry

الملخص EN

Polycarbonate(Makrofol E) has been investigated as a dosimeter for high doses of Gamma radiation through measuring the induced changes in optical absorbance from (315-900) nm at room temperature.

It was found that the absorbance increased with increasing absorbed Gamma-dose.

Also, the dose rate and post irradiation fading of optical absorption spectra has been studied.

The results of this preliminary study show that Makrofol polycarbonate may be applied as a simple optical absorbance detecter for dose measurment in the dose range (6 - 50 )kGy.
