Abstract
According to the present invention there is provided a neutron dosimeter sensitive in the region of from 1 eV to about 14 MeV which comprises a .sup.10 B miniature spectrometer for the region of 1 eV to 30 KeV, a .sup.10 B albedo detector for the range of 30 KeV to 1 MeV and a suitable polymer foil selected from polycarbonate foil and a plastic made from a diester of a carbonic acid, such as the product sold under the trade name of CR-39 with a thin proton radiator for the region of 1 MeV to 14 MeV.
Claims8
A neutron dosimeter comprising first, second, and third neutron detectors, said first neutron detector operative in the 1 eV to 30 KeV region, said second neutron detector operative in the range of 30 KeV to 1 MeV, and
- said third neutron detector operative in the 1 MeV to 14 MeV region, and
- a single polymer foil covered with a thin polyethylene layer, said polymer foil selected from the group consisting of bare polycarbonate foil and a diester of a carbonic acid, and said polymer foil serving as said first, second, and third neutron detectors.
