| Summary: | Dosimetric evaluation is indicated for material characterization seeking to identify possible applications; still, proper preprocessing techniques are critical features of this process. This work aimed to determine the linearity response of plastic samples irradiated with gamma rays using the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements. The plastic samples were analyzed using Derivatives and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods. They applied linear and Principal Component Regression (PCR) methods to obtain linearity. The methods obtained good results for linearity and also showed the evolution of each technique. In conclusion, the results indicate that the applied methods can be useful in radiation physics and for plastic samples as interesting potential radiation detectors. |
