Title: SOLID-STATE DOSIMETERS BASED ON OPTICAL THEORY (in Hungarian)

Journal Article · · Fiz. Szemle
OSTI ID:4083600

A comparison is made of applications of various dosimeters based on solid materials, and their comparative merits are described. Characteristics of the following types of dosimeters effective at various radiation intensities are discussed: condensation chambers for measurements over the range 10/sup -4/-10/ sup 2/ rad, film dosimeters 10/sup -1/-10/sup 5/ rad, thermoluminescent types 10/ sup -3/ - 10/sup 4/ rad, photoluminescent dosimeters 10/sup 1/-- 10/sup 4/ rad, crystal types 10/sup 1/- 10/sup 4/ rad, glass dosimeters 10/sup 3/- 10/sup 7/ rad, synthetic material types 10/sup 5/- 10/sup 9/ rad, and luminescent degradation dosimeters 10/sup 5/-10/sup 8/ rad. Special attention is given to the thermoluminescent dosimeter, which utilizes Mn-activated Ca phosphate. This dosimeter utilizes a glass ampulla instead of a glass vacuum tube and polarography is used to determine the luminescence curve. Simple evaluation equipment is being developed to be used with this dosimeter. Such thermoluminescent dosimeters are generally small in size. Its high sensitivity makes it applicable to low intensity radiation aad after calibration it can again be utilized. Manganese-activated Ca phosphate dosimeters do not show any fading of response in the first hour after use. Use of solid dosimeters, for high- energy measurements
