The luminescent dosimeters are widely used in clinical practice, for the monitoring of patient dose in external radiation therapy. Three of the most common dosimeter categories are the thermoluminescence (TLDs), the radiophotoluminescence (RPLs) and the optically stimulated luminescence (OSLs), with similar physical processes on their properties. The aim of the present study is to compare and evaluate the dosimetric properties of three specific luminescent detectors namely: a) RPL glass dosimeter, commercially known as GD-301, b) lithium fluoride TLD-100 (LiF:Mg,Ti) and c) carbon-doped aluminum oxide (Al2O3:C). For this purpose, Monte Carlo simulations were applied, using the MCNP5 code to estimate the responses of these dosimeters in terms of absorbed dose, output factor, the angular and energy dependence. In the present study, we found that the differences between the output factors were less than ±4.2% for all detector materials RPLGD, TLD and OSLD. The variations in sensitivity for angles up to ±80 degrees from the central axis of the beam were approximately 0.5%, 0.8% and 1.5% for the TLD-100, GD-301 and Al2O3:C, respectively. The energy dependence of the RPL and OSL dosimeters are stated as less than a 2.2%, and within 5.8% for TLD.

This approach was followed for the vector current in the second paper in Ref. 5.~S ee the first paper in Ref. 5, and references therein. See, also, E. J.

It should be noted that if f&(0) =0, an entirely different result follows.Note that in Eq. (76) the contribution of the f2 term appears to be [Wo/(m;+mf)](f2/f&), but when combined with the lepton part, it is [m, /(m;+m&)](f2/f().
