Description

Because 6Li presents a capture cross section which is energy dependent and 7Li is practically energy independent, many workers use LiF as an RTL material. In order to bring to light the special features of LiF in mixed fields, the characteristics of this material are described in the first part of text and its particular use for equivalent neutron dose measurements in dosimetry are described in the second part

Abstract (French)

Le fait que le 6Li ait une section de capture fonction de l'energie des neutrons -figure Al en annexe- et que le 7Li ait, parallelement, une reponse quasiment independante de l'energie -figure A2 en annexe- a conduit de nombreux auteurs a les utiliser sous la forme de LiF comme materiau radiothermoluminescent (RTL). Afin de mettre en valeur les particularites interessantes du LiF, dans le domaine des champs mixtes, nous etudierons dans la premiere partie ses caracteristiques, puis dans la deuxieme partie, son utilisation particuliere pour la dosimetrie des equivalents de dose dus aux neutrons
