ESR response of bulk samples of clear fused quartz (CFQ) material to high doses from 10MeV electrons: Its possible application for radiation processing and medical sterilization

ESR response of powder samples of clear fused quartz material to high doses of 10 MeV electrons: possible applications for industrial radiation processing

“…They also indicate that after each reuse process, the ESR response of the samples was decreased and show that the average decrease was 15.6% for the first reuse process and 18.3% for the second (both reduction values are in comparison with the first process). Similar results in our previous work about bulk samples have been observed although the amount of decrease was more than twice (37% for the first reuse process and 41% for the second reuse process of the samples in comparison to the first measurement) [16].…”

“…The background signal of each sample was then measured by ESR, after which they were irradiated with 10 MeV electrons. The background signals show that after annealing, the absorbed dose will become zero as reported by Ranjbar et al at normal doses with gamma rays and at high doses with 10 MeV electrons [14][15][16].…”

“…The aim of this present work is to study the dose curve reproducibility of the powder samples of CFQ at the same dose range with irradiation of 10 MeV electrons. In addition, the deduced results in the present work have been compared with the results of cylindrical bulk samples [16].…”

“…In our previous work dose curve reproducibility of cylindrical bulk samples was studied under 10 MeV electron irradiation at high dose range between 6 to 37 kGy [16]. The aim of this present work is to study the dose curve reproducibility of the powder samples of CFQ at the same dose range with irradiation of 10 MeV electrons.…”

Radiation-induced coloration of xylenol blue/film containing hexachloroethane for food irradiation applications

“…There are several methods such as electron spin resonance techniques [1], TL [2], gas chromatography [3] or DNA [4] comet assay among others that can be used for such purpose. To follow the quality of irradiated foods, some dyed polymeric films are being used for dose monitoring [5][6][7][8] during food irradiation process.…”
