Systematic errors in the readings of trace etch neutron dosemeters caused by the energy dependence of response

摘要

A study has been performed to assess the extent to which variations in the energy dependence of response of neutron personal dosemeters can cause systematic errors in readings obtained in workplace fields. This involved a detailed determination of the response functions of personal dosemeters used in the UK. These response functions were folded With workplace spectra to ascertain the under- or over-response in workplace fields. [References: 10]
