Description
The high temperature ratio method (HTR) of thermoluminescent dosimetry was used to measure the absorbed dose and the average linear energy transfer of mixed radiation fields in space. A LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent dosemeter was used. The measurements were performed during several periods on the 'MIR' space station, during 3 space shuttle missions and during 5 flights in aircraft. Comparison with the conventional methods gave evidence that the HTR method is applicable to the determination of the biologically relevant dose. (M.D.)
