RECENT PROGRESS IN DOSIMETRY OF IONIZING RADIATIONS
A review is given of all methods of measuring ionizing radiation which have been developed during the past few years, i.e. the ionization chamber method, counting, chemical, photographic, colorimetric, luminescent, and calorimetric methods. Special attention is devoted to those dosimetric methods which have been studied more extensively - scintillation spectrometry, semiconductor detectors, luminescent chambers, and spark chambers. Some other methods are briefly mentioned together with the redetermination of some basic values and calibration and correction procedures. In conclusion, the most important progress achieved to date is reviewed and those fields where further improvement is most necessary are discussed. (auth)
