This work reports the preparation of a new thermoluminescent (TL) material obtained by doping the host salt of lithium borate with copper, silver and thulium ions (Li 2 B 4 O 7 :Cu, Ag, Tm). With the obtained material, sintered dosimeters in form of discs were made and exposed to gamma radiation fro...
