NEUTRON-INSENSITIVE BETA GAMMA DOSIMETER

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4060574
A beta - gamma dosimeter is described which is insensitive to an intense fast neutron field. The energy of incident radiation is measured by counting pulses rather than by measuring ion current. The disclosed dosimeter measures the dose and can discriminate heavily against that produced by neutron- recoils. This discrimination is accomplished by providing a cavity inside a liner wall smaller in length than one-tenth the mean free path for ionization by 30,000-ev electrons.
