NEUTRON SENSITIVITIES OF VARIOUS GAMMA DOSIMETERS,
Abstract
The neutron sensitivities of silver-activated metaphosphate glass, manganese-activated calcium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeters, and lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeters have been measured for six neutron energies ranging from 1 to 14.6 MeV. Preliminary data from these experiments have been presented. Errors were introduced by the low intensities of the experimental neutron fluences and by gamma contributions to dosimeter responses. A first-order approximation of the gamma contributions was made and used to correct experimental data. The neutron sensitivities reported have been successfully applied to correct gamma-exposure data from three recent wagon effects experiments. (Author)
