Personal dose monitoring is essential for a successful radiation protection program for occupationally exposed persons. The Materialprüfungsamt NRW (MPA NRW) provides thermoluminescence (TL) dosimeters based on LiF:Mg,Ti. Proof-of-concept studies to predict the day of irradiation have been successfully performed on measured TL glow curves using artificial neural networks (ANN). However, large data sets are required to train an ANN to predict the parameters of new measurements. Therefore the Department of Physics at TU Dortmund is developing multivariate methods for generating TL glow curves using generative adversarial networks (GANs). These generated glow curves will be used as training data for the irradiation day prediction model. This study trains GANs to generate glow curves using a measured data set of 4100 glow curves with 28 irradiation dates. In this talk, we present the comparison of the simulated glow curves with the measured ones and provide information about the performance and optimization of the GAN.
