SOME X-RAY AND FAST NEUTRON RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS OF SILVER METAPHOSPHATE GLASS DOSIMETERS (thesis)
A study was conducted to determine the adequacy of silver metaphosphate glass as a dosimeter for gamma radiation coexistent with fast neutrons. The fast-neutron response in the energy region encompassing a major pcrtion of the fission spectrum was determined and a method of decreasing the photon-energy dependence was developed. The size of the dosimeter and reprcducibility of results make this system a useful addition to gamma -ray dosimetry. particularly for gamma rays coexistent with neutrons. In some experiments the greatly increased sensitivity to low-energy photons permits accurate measurement of exposure doses as small as a few hundred milliroentgens. (auth)
