The investigation was motivated by theoretical simulations predicting the possible presence of dose-rate effects coupled with the lack of detailed experimental studies. The dose rate was varied by changing the source to sample distance, by the use of attenuators, sources of 137Cs of various activities, filtration and the construction of identical geometrical irradiators of Teflon and stainless steel. Four levels of dose in the linear dose response region were studied at 10\u22122 Gy, 1.5 \u00d7 10\u22122 Gy, 0.1 Gy and 0.5 Gy to avoid complications in interpretation due to supralinearity above 1 Gy. At the dose of 1.5 \u00d7 10\u22122 Gy, the dose rate was varied by five orders of magnitude from 4.9 \u00d7 10\u22123 Gy s\u22121 to 4.9 \u00d7 10\u22128 Gy s\u22121. At the other levels of dose, a one to two orders of magnitude in dose rate was achieved. Within the measurement uncertainty of 5\u201310%, no dose-rate effects were observed in any of the experimental measurements and no changes in the shape of the glow curve were observed. The maximum wall scatter effect (Teflon to stainless steel) was measured at ~8% within the experimental uncertainty and well below expectations. The results are encouraging with respect to the accurate and reproducible use of LiF:Mg,Ti under various experimental conditions of irradiation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncac029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T12:10:07Z","timestamp":1645445407000},"page":"222-228","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["SEARCH FOR EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE OF DOSE-RATE AND WALL SCATTERING EFFECTS IN THE THERMOLUMINESCENCE RESPONSE OF LIF:MG,TI (TLD-100)"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"198","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2925-4533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitry","family":"Ginzburg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva 84105, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilan","family":"Eliyahu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soreq Nuclear Research Center, Yavneh 81800, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nigel","family":"Spooner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Adelaide, Adelaide 5005, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matan","family":"Sterenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva 84105, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Galina","family":"Reshes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Unit Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Shapiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Unit Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shlomo","family":"Biderman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Unit Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beny","family":"Herman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Unit Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yossi","family":"Assor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nuclear Research Center, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitry","family":"Nemirovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Unit Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0534-3761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonid","family":"Oster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physics Unit Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, Beer Sheva 84100, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yigal Shalom","family":"Horowitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva 84105, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Hershkovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soreq Nuclear Research Center, Yavneh 81800, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022033007012962600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrobp.2021.09.002","article-title":"Accurate dosimetry for radiobiology","volume":"111","author":"DeWerd","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
