Abstract:
The amount of the first stage coloration in KCl1?xBrx doped with Pb2+ has been investigated as a function of the dose rate and impurity concentration. For a dose rate of 12.88 kGy/h, the F color center production was independent of the quantity of Pb2+, and varied according to the ratio KCl/KBr. At a proportion of 50% of each halogen the typical stages were observed. However, if the dose rate is less than 3.22 kGy/h, the coloration production depends on the quantity of Pb2+.
