Abstract: The objective of this study is to explore the decomposition method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of fingernails after water treatment, and complete dose estimation using nails as biomaterials. Using C++ to write code, visual studio 2019 Community Edition as the integrated development environment (IDE), under the platform of windows10, the effective information extraction, fitting, simulation, normalization, dose regression of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy were carried out. The results showed that the residual spectra of the three groups of individual samples(RIS2+RIS5,1-10 Gy exposure)are close to a straight line, the R2 of dose regression curve is greater than 0.9, and the fitting error is less than 1 Gy. For the 10 person mixed group(RIS2+RIS5,1-10 Gy exposure), R2 was close to 0.9 (0.89), and the fitting error was about 1.1 Gy, while for the RIS5 fitting group, R2 was greater than 0.9, and the fitting error was 4.78 Gy (5-55 Gy exposure). By fitting the EPR spectrum of fingernails with mathematical simulation, we can separate the overlapped signals into RIS spectrum, which can reduce the influence of background signal on dose reconstruction to a certain extent.
