Abstract

This literature study examines the sensitivity and energy dependence of the thermoluminescence dosimeter CaSO₄:Dy in radiation measurements. Several scientific articles were analyzed to review the sensitivity and energy dependence. The study’s results showed that CaSO₄:Dy has high sensitivity against various types of radiation, such as β-rays, γ-rays, and x-rays. TLD CaSO₄:Dy can detect doses as low as 24. Thermal treatment and doping addition can also enhance the resulting TL response. TLD CaSO₄:Dy has a high energy dependence, especially at low energies; the lower the energy, the lower the response accuracy. The energy dependence shows stability at 200 keV.
