Study of the effect of gamma-irradiation on the activation energy value from the thermoluminescence glow curve

This study calculates the activation energy value (E) from the thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves using the initial rise method (IR). For non-irradiated samples, the E value is 0.58eV, whereas the irradiated samples have a higher value of 0.84eV. This difference allows us to distinguish between irradiated and non-irradiated chilli powder and to assess the dose of gamma-irradiated samples.
