Response of a gamma-ray telescope dosimeter to the (n + (GAMMA)) radiation from a (239)Pu-Be source
Abstract
The design, construction, and investigation of a gamma-ray telescope that can tell the direction of incident photons is reported. The dosimeter is based on LiF thermoluminescence. The gamma-ray telescope dosimeter was tested with a (239)Pu-Be source and found to perform satisfactorily. For a high-energy neutron field the gamma-ray telescope dosimeter contributes very little to the total dose equivalent.
