Household salt (NaCl) for optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry: an overview

Bernhardsson, Christian LU orcid ; Waldner, Lovisa LU orcid ; Rääf, Christopher LU and Vodovatov, Aleksandr (2021) p.90-94
Abstract
This brief overview of the use of household salt (NaCl) in optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry is focusing on the use of NaCl pellets. It is suggested that the most optimal use of household NaCl, in general prospective dosimetry, is to compress the salt grains to pellets and read the radiation induced signal using OSL rather than TL. A summary of the main OSL dosimetric properties is provided for two Swedish household salts, and compared to the OSL properties of 100 different salts from all over the world.
