Investigation of radiation-induced free radicals in p-arsanilic acid rods using electron spin resonance for γ-ray dosimetric applications
摘要
This study validates para-arsanilic acid as a high-performance Electron Paramagnetic Resonance-based dosimeter for radiation processing. Gamma-irradiated rods exhibited complex resonance signatures with g-factors of 2.0041, 2.2453 and 2.5303, identifying multiple stable free-radical centers. The system demonstrates a sensitive dose-response from 0.2 to 6 kGy, featuring a highly linear calibration curve within the 0.5–5 kGy range. Key performance indicators include excellent post-irradiation stability over 50 days and significant resistance to humidity variations up to 60% RH. With a low expanded uncertainty (2σ) of 6.73%, these rods provide a dependable, sturdy, and accurate option for dose monitoring of industrial and research quality.
