This article gives an overview of selected high-dose dosimetric methods suitable for use in accelerators in research and medicine for reference, transfer and routine dosimetry. This comprises solid state, glass, plastic and liquid chemical systems as well as ionisation chambers and calorimeters. The dose covered varies from 0.1 Gy to the MGy range. A summary comparing the main characteristics of these dosemeters is also given. (authors)
