Calibration factors for dosemeter characterization

Calibration factors or dosemeter sensitivities can be used for linking the measured physical effect with the biological effect. Calibration factors have been determined for a solid-state track detector system (cellulose triacetate foil and LiF) in different neutron fields (252Cf fission neutrons, WWR-S reactor neutrons with and without Cd and Fe shielding, (d,d) generator neutrons, U-120 cyclotron neutrons with and without Fe and paraffin shielding, 9.2 MeV neutrons, and (d,t) generator neutrons). The influence of physical factors on the calibration factor and on the measuring range and measuring accuracy is demonstrated and discussed
