Analyses of semiconductor radiation detectors that could be used in a gamma dosimeter
Abstract
Radiation counters were tested in experiments combining steel thickness, lead filter thickness, radiation source, and radiographic film to develop an indicator of exposure time. A prototype was built to use in combination with an Iridium 192 source. A geiger counter is used as detector, but the possibility to utilize CdTe semiconductor detectors is discussed. The applications and characteristics of the device are detailed.
