Abstract
Lyoluminescence sensitivity of five different saccharide powders to electron irradiation has been determined using luminol solution as a solvent. Effect of electron energy variation in the range of 5–20 MeV on the lyoluminescence yield has been measured. The light conversion efficiencies of different saccharides irradiated with x-rays, β-particles, γ-rays, fast electrons, mesons and 8-MeV neutrons have been calculated. Factors affecting light conversion efficiency, sensitivity and accuracy of measurements are discussed.
