NanoDottm Optically Stimulated Luminescence dosimeters (OSLs) are used at the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) to measure radiation dose. An expected dose for an experimental setup is established by simulating the experimental apparatus and the OSLs. After calibrating the OSLs using a known radiation source, they were used to measure the dose from an accelerator based radiation source. The OSLs ability to reproduce the dose from the accelerator’s radiation was measured. Irradiating the OSLs in a bremsstrahlung photon field indicates that the OSLs are reproducible to 4.87% over a large range of dose.
