ESR readout improvement of gamma-irradiated soda-lime glasses is presented by considering the dose-dependent differences in temperature behaviour of the radiation-induced signal and background signal, and effective difference in g-values of those two signals. Our experimental results demonstrate that the dose-dependent temperature behaviour can improve the ESR signal response for 30-80% in the dose range below 20 Gy by detection at 200 K compared to the room temperature signal readout. The application of improvement can be expected in the low-level dose range where the radiation-induced signal is comparable with an inhomogeneous background signal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
