What does the processing of a Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) involve to release stored energy?

Applying pressure

Adding radiation

Applying heat

The processing of a Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) involves applying heat to the device. TLDs contain crystals that store energy from radiation exposure over time. When these crystals are heated, the stored energy is released in the form of light. This light can then be measured and quantified, allowing for the determination of the dose of radiation that the TLD was exposed to. This principle of releasing stored energy through heat is fundamental to the functionality of TLDs, making it a critical process in radiation detection and dosimetry.
