The applications that cover the use of ionizing radiation are numerous, very diverse and belong to several fields of activity such as, the medical and agricultural fields etc. The aim of this work is to highlight an application of decorative glass coloring by gamma radiation. Crystal white glass cups are placed on small rotating tables and subjected to exposure to gamma radiation from the cobalt-60 gamma irradiator of the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA-Morocco / Tangier) for doses between 0 and 1.5 KGy. The results obtained show the variation in the color of glass between light brown to dark brown depending on the absorbed dose.
Key words: Decorative coloring / Crystal white glass / gamma radiation / cobalt-60 / absorbed dose
