Neutron Response of Silver-Activated Phosphate Glass
Journal Article
·
· Health Physics (England)
The fluorescent response of silver-activated phosphate glass rods exposed to thermal and 14 MeV neutrons has been investigated. For thermal neutrons most of the absorbed dose in this glass arises from beta-emission of activated silver nuclei, and the response per rad in this glass is the same as for Co60 gamma-rays. For 14 MeV neutrons the response per rad is but 20 per cent of that for Co60 gamma-rays. The possibility of using such dosimeters for simultaneous measurements of neutron and gamma-ray intensities is discussed briefly.
