Towards improving the detection limit of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry of drywall (wallboard)
Abstract
The intensity of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) line corresponding to the carbonate free radical (CO3-) in gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) drywall was previously shown to be proportional to absorbed dose. Heating irradiated drywall reduces the radiosensitive signal of the CO3- radical. The response of the CO3- EPR line to heat treatments is being studied in order to determine a background for an arbitrary drywall sample. Ultimately this is …
