Abstract

In the MARE experiment onboard the NASA Artemis 1 mission of the ORION spacecraft to lunar orbit, two anthropomorphic female phantoms, equipped with a large number of active and passive radiation detectors were flown. Among the detectors were both LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P TL detectors as well as Al₂O₃:C OSL detectors. In order to correctly interpret the measured doses, the effective relative TL/OSL efficiency for cosmic radiation of these detectors was calculated by combining simulated radiation spectra for the cis-lunar space conditions with the efficiency functions based on experimental data for different ions and on a microdosimetric model.

The obtained results show that for the ORION shielding conditions, the relative efficiency of LiF:Mg,Ti is close to unity (0.95), while the remaining detectors show somewhat smaller efficiency: 0.90 for Al₂O₃:C and (0.81–0.86) for LiF:Mg,Cu,P. The analysis of the influence of the shielding thickness on the relative TL/OSL efficiency revealed, that for low shielding conditions, the relative efficiency may be more significantly decreased, reaching values between 0.71 (LiF:Mg,Cu,P) and 0.85 (LiF:Mg,Ti) for 1 g/cm².

计算 TL/OSL 探测器对顺月空间宇宙辐射光谱的相对发光效率

在美国航天局 ORION 航天器的 Artemis 1 号月球轨道飞行任务上进行的 MARE 实验中，飞行了两个拟人化的女性模型，模型上装有大量主动和被动辐射探测器。其中包括 LiF:Mg,Ti 和 LiF:Mg,Cu,P TL 探测器以及 AlO:C OSL 探测器。为了正确解释测得的剂量，计算了这些探测器对宇宙辐射的有效相对 TL/OSL 效率，方法是将顺月球空间条件下的模拟辐射光谱与根据不同离子的实验数据和微量测量模型得出的效率函数结合起来。

期刊介绍： The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal. Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
