摘要：
In the present work the application of a PIN photodiode with (LiF)-Li-6 and polyethylene converters as a neutron dosimeter is investigated. The response of the photodiode with the (LiF)-Li-6 inside a 25 cm diameter paraffin sphere was measured at different distances from a bare Am-Be source. Similar measurements were performed with a 4 mm thick polyethylene converter. Then, a comparison was made with the dose equivalent calibration curve for this source and the sensitivities were derived for the two detector configurations. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
