Application of low-pressure tissue-equivalent proportional counter for IHEP radiation protection

摘要

The dosimetry method based on low-pressure tissue-equivalent proportional counters (TEPS) is described, which is used for radiation dosimetry in IHEP. The main technical data of TEPC and experimental results of dose characteristics measurements are presented for the reference fields of IHEP and JINR (Dubna). The results are compared with other dosimetric systems. An application of correction methods for neutron dose equivalent measurement on the base of TEPC microdosimetry spectra and using the detector with different neutron energy response is discussed. 18 refs., 12 figs., 1 tab.
