State of the Art in Electronic Dosemeters for Neutrons

Abstract

The paper presents an overview of electronic personal dosemeters for neutrons in mixed neutron/photon fields. The energy response of commercially available electronic dosemeters in quasi‐monoenergetic neutron fields and their performance in working places is discussed. The response curves are extended to high‐energy neutrons up to 100 MeV, new prototype dosemeters are described and discussed especially for use at high‐energy accelerators and in space.
