“…[ 8–13 ] Most TL‐based dosimetry systems encompass polycrystals as host matrices and show diffusion in dose–response at the higher dose range, and are therefore used for low‐dose measurements in the field of radiation protection dosimetry. [ 14,15 ] TL techniques could be an interesting area of research to measure higher doses incurred during various radiation processing applications, such as food irradiation, [ 16,17 ] radiotherapy, [ 2,3 ] and medical product sterilization. [ 18,19 ] Rare‐earth‐activated barites (BaSO 4 ), as well as naturally occurring barites are interesting systems that could have properties helpful for different dosimetric applications, [ 20–24 ] however there have been very few TL studies on naturally occurring barites.…”
