Modelling glow curves of thermoluminescent radiometric devices

Thermoluminescent (TLD) radiation dosimeters enjoy wide usage due to low cost and simplicity of use. They however require complex device modelling in order to extract the measured dose. A new glow peak model and fit method are presented, that offer a more robust fit to the glow-curves and allows operators to enter visually inspectable parameters (rather than physical quantities difficult to estimate from the visual inspection of the glow curves themselves). Fits performed on the GLOCANIN-challenge's RefGlow-002 and RefGlow-009 [2] are presented, highlighting the good performance of the GEMINI C++ code written.
