Gamma ray and neutron dosimeter

A dosimeter system comprising:

• a computer network including a plurality of computing devices;
• a plurality of dosimeters, each dosimeter comprising:
• a housing;
• a printed circuit board positioned within the housing and configured to communicate with the computer network;
• a silicon photomultiplier operably connected to the printed circuit board;
• a scintillator formed of a glass powder and positioned on the silicon photomultiplier, wherein the scintillator comprises a glue distributed throughout the glass powder to secure particles together and to the silicon photomultiplier, and further wherein the distribution of the glue comprises an optical coupling between the scintillator and the silicon photomultiplier;
• and;
• an optical reflector surrounding the scintillator;
• and
• a plurality of repeaters configured to receive data from the dosimeters and transmit that data to the computer network.

A method of forming a scintillator comprising:

• seating a container with an open bottom on a photomultiplier;
• depositing a glass powder within the container on top of the photomultiplier;
• and
• depositing a glue in the container.
