Claudio Furetta (1 October 1937 – 26 February 2026) was an Italian physicist who studied thermoluminescence, the release of stored energy as light when certain materials are heated, and its use in measuring radiation exposure. His research included methods for estimating both the radiation dose recorded by a detector and the time since exposure. He also studied applications to archaeological dating and the detection of food treated with radiation, and wrote or co-wrote books on thermoluminescence and radiation measurement.
Education and career
[edit]Furetta received a laurea in physics from Sapienza University of Rome in 1964. His thesis concerned solid-state detectors for nuclear radiation.[1] He subsequently worked as a research fellow at Euratom’s Central Bureau for Nuclear Measurements in Geel, Belgium.[2]
From 1971, he carried out research and teaching in Sapienza’s Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. He moved to its Department of Physics in 1987.[3] His research during the 1970s and early 1980s included radiation detectors for medical use and the measurement of radiation doses in clinical settings.[4][5][6]
Furetta taught at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan in 1982–83 and returned for research at its Institute of Nuclear Science in 1996–98.[3] He collaborated with Pao-Shan Weng on teaching and research in radiation measurement.[7] Material from his teaching at the university formed much of the basis of their book Operational Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (1998).[8]
He also worked with researchers in Mexico, including Juan Azorín, on thermoluminescence and materials for radiation detectors.[9][10] During the 2000s, he held visiting appointments at Mexican universities.[11][12][13]
Furetta co-authored studies of radiation damage in silicon detectors and the development of diamond detectors for the Large Hadron Collider.[14][15] From June to September 2007, he was a visiting scientist at CERN, working with irradiation facilities and detector projects.[16]
In 2021, the XXI International Symposium on Solid State Dosimetry honoured him for his contributions to the field.[17]
Research
[edit]Much of Furetta's research concerned the use of thermoluminescent materials to measure radiation exposure. When such a material is irradiated, some electrons are freed and become trapped at defects or impurities in its crystal structure. They can remain trapped for long periods, storing part of the energy deposited by the radiation. When the material is later heated, some of the trapped electrons gain enough energy to escape and eventually recombine with positively charged sites, releasing light. Measuring this light can therefore provide information about earlier radiation exposure.[18]
Different groups of trapped electrons are released at different temperatures. A graph of the emitted light against temperature is called a glow curve and can contain several peaks, each produced as trapped charge is released over a particular temperature range.[19][20][21]

Glow-peak geometry
[edit]One strand of Furetta's research concerned what could be learned from the measurable form of individual glow peaks. In studies of thermoluminescent dosimeters, Furetta analysed individual component peaks within glow curves to estimate properties of the electron traps, including the energy needed to release a trapped electron.[20][21]
Furetta later worked with George Kitis and Epifanio Cruz-Zaragoza on using features such as where a peak occurs, how wide it is and how symmetric it is to obtain information about the traps inside the material. In 2005, they developed ways to check estimates of the energy needed to release electrons from these traps when the estimates were derived from the shape of a glow peak. [22] [23]
In 2024, Kitis and Furetta developed a new way to determine the energy needed to release trapped electrons from the shape of a glow peak. Their approach used a physical model of how trapped electrons are released and produce light. [24]
Changes in glow curves over time
[edit]The glow curve can also change while an irradiated material is stored. Trapped electrons gradually escape even without deliberate heating, causing the stored signal to become weaker with time. This loss is known as fading. Because different component peaks can fade at different rates, their relative sizes change as time passes.
The possibility of using these differences to obtain both radiation-exposure and timing information had been investigated by Z. Spurný in 1971.[25][26] During the 1980s, Furetta further explored this approach through computational modelling and experiments, examining how different fading rates from the peaks could help estimate both the radiation dose and the time elapsed since an accidental exposure.[27][28] In particular, experiments with Juan Azorín using CaSO4:Dy dosimeters showed that the measured changes in the peaks were consistent with the theoretical predictions.[29]
Furetta also studied how fading could cause errors in radiation measurements. In 1999, with C. H. Kuo and Pao-Shan Weng, he used computer analysis to separate overlapping glow peaks and predict how their signals would fade during storage. When the fading behaviour and the time since irradiation were known, dose estimates could be corrected to account for the lost signal.[30][26]
Furetta also studied situations in which a detector continued to receive radiation while its stored signal was fading. With Kitis, he developed mathematical expressions for correcting the resulting dose estimates in personal, environmental and clinical radiation monitoring.[31]
Thermoluminescent materials
[edit]The usefulness of these measurements also depends on the material producing the glow curve. Furetta studied materials for radiation dosimetry, including potassium magnesium fluoride crystals and borate-based materials. He examined how strongly the materials responded to radiation, how their signal changed with dose, how stable it remained during storage and whether their glow curves were simple enough to interpret reliably.[32][33] [34] In magnesium borate, an improved MgB4O7:Dy,Na preparation combined high sensitivity with reduced fading and a simpler glow curve than earlier versions of the material. [35]
Archaeological dating
[edit]Furetta also applied the same physical principle to dating ancient pottery. Firing pottery releases much of the thermoluminescent signal that had previously accumulated in its mineral grains, effectively starting the process again. After burial, natural radiation from the surroundings gradually causes electrons to become trapped once more.[36]
In studies of ancient pottery, including material from the Via Nova–Via Sacra site on Rome's Palatine Hill, Furetta and collaborators heated quartz grains from the pottery and measured the resulting thermoluminescence to estimate how much radiation had accumulated since the object was last fired. They combined this with an estimate of the natural radiation rate around the object to calculate its age.[37][38] Furetta later co-authored Termoluminescenza e Datazione (2007) with P. R. González Martínez.[39]
Food irradiation
[edit]Another application of thermoluminescence in Furetta's research concerned food treated with ionizing radiation. Small mineral particles associated with foods can also trap electrons when irradiated. Heating those particles later can therefore reveal a thermoluminescent signal left by the treatment.
Furetta studied products including paprika, oregano and yerba mate. He examined whether the resulting light signals could show that a product had previously been irradiated and, in some cases, help estimate the radiation dose used in the treatment.[40][41][42]
Books
[edit]Furetta co-authored Thermoluminescence in Solids and Its Applications (1989) with K. Mahesh and Pao-Shan Weng. Reviewing the book in 1990, P. D. Townsend considered it a useful starting point for newcomers to thermoluminescence, but criticised its uneven coverage and inadequate explanation of the role of defects in crystal structures.[43] Horst H. Eisenlohr recommended it for independent study and as a reference for teachers and researchers, while noting that it did not explain how to calibrate thermoluminescent dosimeters, instruments used to measure radiation exposure.[44] Stephen W. S. McKeever included the book in a selected bibliography introducing researchers to thermoluminescence.[45]
His book with Weng, Operational Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (1998), received reviews in Radiation Protection Dosimetry, Health Physics and Il Nuovo Saggiatore. A. J. J. Bos criticised its strongly mathematical treatment, limited explanation of the physics and presentation problems. Although he did not strongly recommend it, he considered it potentially useful for students and researchers new to practical thermoluminescence dosimetry.[46] Ian Hamilton praised it as a reference for graduate students and health physicists seeking a detailed understanding of the technique.[47] Giorgio Benedek praised its practical approach and attention to measurement methods, precision and accuracy.[48]
Furetta’s Handbook of Thermoluminescence (2003) received a brief notice in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.[49] Reviewing it in Contemporary Physics, A. Holmes-Siedle praised its extensive coverage of the mathematical literature but criticised its organisation and lack of explanation of the underlying physics. He considered it potentially useful for mathematically inclined solid-state physicists, but of limited interest to radiotherapists or physics students.[50] In his 2007 review of thermoluminescence theory, Bos included the Handbook among textbooks covering the subject and its applications.[51]
