AbstractAbstract
[en] As part of a general study of personnel neutron dosimetry systems, three British and two German TL albedo dosimeters were compared. They range from simple albedo devices to multi-element devices which detect combinations of incident and albedo neutrons. They were exposed to beams of mono-energetic neutrons, a thermal neutron column and a 252Cf source. The variation in response with neutron energy above 0.1 MeV was similar for all dosimeters. The resuls show that in general multi-component dosimeters fo not provide enough information to deduce the effective energy of incident neutrons. The choice of single or multi-element dosimeters for particular types of environment is discussed. The Harvey dosimeter has the most acceptable thermal neutron response of the simpler devices. For neutron energies below 0.5 MeV its response varies roughly as the cosine of the angle of incidence but is more complex at higher energies. (author)
