Response of LiF:Mg,Cu,P TL detector simulated with Geant4

The Geant4 simulation code was developed to study the Hp(10) energy response of the LiF:Mg,Cu,P (TLD-100H). Initial study chose the simulation conditions similar to the work reported by Obryk et al. in year 2011, in which a TLD-100H chip without filter was used. The work went further to simulate the...
