Personnel neutron monitoring around high-energy proton accelerators can derive benefit from the fact that energetic components usually present in the stray field allow the use of detectors with relatively high energy thresholds. In a series of experiments the behaviour of various track etch detectors towards radiation outside the main shield of the CERN proton accelerators was compared. Because of the extended energy range that has to be covered, none of the presently available detectors can be considered as a personnel dosimeter. In most practical cases, however, the dosimetry aspect is negligible since dose rates in accessible areas are kept low. Under such favourable conditions the radiation monitoring features of the investigated detectors become important.

“…Of particular interest is the variation of the background, which will determine both the lower detection limit and the precision of the result. Following a proposal by Piesch [9] the relative standard deviation for the four detectors was calculated and is plotted in Fig. 1 as a function of dose equivalent.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe dosimetry of neutrons ranging in energy over several orders of magnitude from thermal to relativistic energies is a challenging problem. One of the earliest methods employed in personnel neutron dosimetry is the use of special photographic emulsions where, after development and magnification in the microscope, nuclear tracks can be observed. Over the last years it seemed that this method would be rapidly replaced by modern track etch detectors or albedo neutron dosemeters, these being superior to the nuclear emulsion in most of the dosimetric properties. However, so far the advances in the above techniques have not justified a changeover in all cases, but have rather stimulated new efforts to improve the neutron detection capabilities of nuclear emulsions.The history and whole field of neutron dosimetry with nuclear emulsion has already been discussed in earlier publications. The reader is therefore referred to review articles on dosimetry for more references about all aspects of these techniques [1][2][3]. This paper therefore discusses mainly recent results found with the nuclear film type A (NTA) produced by Kodak, the most commonly used personnel neutron monitoring film.
