Recently, two new types of 'tissue equivalent' thermoluminescent detectors (TLDs) have aroused attention: LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si and Li2B4O7:Cu,Ag,P. In this work the characteristics of both detectors were compared with the characteristics of the well-known type LiF:Mg,Ti detector, TLD-100. The following properties were
