Abstract
This paper presents the main dosimetric characteristics and kinetic parameters of a newly proposed borate glass dosimeter modified with lithium and magnesium oxide (LMB) and co-doped with Dy

. Dosimetric features include thermoluminescence (TL) glow-curve, annealing procedure, TL sensitivity, photon dose response, fading, reproducibility, minimum detectable dose, kinetics order, activation energy (
E
) and frequency factor (
s
). The proposed dosimeter exhibits simple glow curves, good linearity from 0.01 up to 4 Gy, easy annealing, excellent reproducibility and minimal fading. These attractive features will pave the way to its use in radiation dosimetry.
