Description

The characteristics of three electronic detectors designed for personal neutron dosimetry are compared: a multicellular tissue equivalent proportional counter, a differential diode detector and a detector operating in a partial G.M. regime. The two detectors employed the same thin film of Boron-10 doped polyethylene as a neutron to proton converter. (author)
