Description

The LET dependence of the response of different glow-peaks of CaF2:Tm(TLD-300) detectors can be used for separate and simultaneous determination of neutron and gamma-ray absorbed doses in mixed neutron-photon radiation fields. The principle and the pre-conditions of this ''two-peak TLD method'' are explained using experimental results with d(14) + Be neutrons (anti Esub(N) = 5.8 MeV). (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die LET-Abhaenigkeit der Ansprechvermoegen verschiedener Glow-Peaks von CaF2 : Tm (TLD-300)-Detektoren laesst sich zur separaten und gleichzeitigen Bestimmung von Neutronen- und Gammastrahlen-Energiedosen in gemischten Neutronen-Photonen-Strahlenfeldern nutzen. Das Prinzip und die Voraussetzungen dieser ''Zwei-Peak-TLD-Methode'' werden anhand experimenteller Ergebnisse mit d(14)+Be-Neutronen (anti Esub(N) = 5,8 MeV) erlaeutert. (orig.)
