  • Title: Electronic personal neutron dosemeters for high energies: measurements, new developments and further needs.
    Author: Luszik-Bhadra M.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2007; 126(1-4):487-90. PubMed ID: 17519244.
    Abstract:
    The results of measurements with neutron energies up to 60 MeV are shown for the personal neutron dosemeters Thermo Electron EPD-N2, ALOKA PDM-313 and the PTB prototype dosemeter DOS-2002. All dosemeters show dose equivalent responses that are about a factor of 10, too high at 60 MeV. A new prototype dosemeter-called DOS-2005-consisting of a detector with a thin effective layer of 6 microm has been set up at PTB. The dose equivalent response of this dosemeter and that of the newly developed dosemeter SAPHYDOSE-N was measured up to 19 MeV. Both dosemeters indicate a more flat response at high neutron energies. Further needs-optimisations, measurements and calculations-for use at high-energy accelerators and in space are discussed.
