In this study, the thermoluminescence characteristics of naturally occurring salt (NaCl) were assessed for the development of a radiation dosimeter. For this purpose, mined crystalline samples of salt were procured directly from Khewra salt mines in Pakistan. The samples were hand crushed, sieved, and compressed to pellets comparable in size to standard TLD chips, and irradiated to gamma radiation doses in the range of 5 mGy and 5000 mGy. Thermoluminescence (TL) response showed three main peaks in the glow curve around 115-130 °C, 150-170 °C, and 220-240 °C. A linear TL response was observed for the dose range of 5-100 mGy. The TL response became supra-linear for the dose ranges of 100-1000 mGy and 1000-5000 mGy. The T |
