Performance of Pin Photodiode in Microdosimetry

Abstract: The performance of a PIN silicon photodiode as a microdosimetric detector was explored. Microdosimetric spectra of a 137Cs gamma source and that of an americium-beryllium neutron source were determined with a PIN photodiode as well as with a tissue-equivalent proportional counter of 1 micron simulated diameter. The spectra were compared.

“…Other attempts at creating silicon microdosimeters using single p-i-n photo diodes include the work of Orlic et al (1989) and later Kadachi et al (1994; 1998). Both efforts were directed toward radiation protection applications to derive average quality factors of neutron sources by applying the Q (L) function specified by ICRP Report 60 (ICRP, 1991) to the microdosimetric spectra.…”
