Color changes in gamma- and electron-beam-irradiated PM-355 nuclear track detector

摘要

The effects of gamma and electron beam irradiation on the color changes of PM-355 nuclear track detector have been investigated. Samples from PM-355 were classified into two main groups. The first group was irradiated with gamma in the dose range of 10-250Â kGy, while the second group was irradiated with an electron beam at the same dose range. The transmission of these samples in the wavelength range of 370-770Â nm, as well as any color changes, was studied. The Commission International de E'Claire (CIE units x, y and z) methodology was used in this work for the description of colored samples. In addition, the color differences between the non-irradiated sample and those irradiated with different gamma or electron beam doses were calculated. The results indicate that PM-355 detector acquires color changes under gamma and electron beam irradiation, but it has a more response to color changes by electron beam than that by gamma.View full textDownload full textKeywordsgamma, electron beam irradiation, color changes, PM-355Related var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10420150.2011.607455
