Abstract

The relationship between the radiation absorbed dose and the NMR longitudinal and transversal relaxation rates, R₁ and R₂, respectively, of a ceric sulphate dosimeter was examined. By adding copper sulphate, the R₁ and R₂ dose-responses were found to be linear up to 60 kGy with dose sensitivities of 13×10⁻⁶ and 15×10⁻⁶ s⁻¹ Gy⁻¹, respectively. There is thus the potential for a three-dimensional ceric dosimeter for high dose applications, provided a suitable gelling substance is used.
