A novel dosimetry-based technique using EPR spectroscopy to determine X-ray beam quality is proposed. The radiation-sensitive material is made of a mixture of two polycrystalline substances with different X-ray absorption properties. The composite samples, consisting of polycrystalline lithium forma...
