1 Neutron and/or photon response of a TLD-albedo personal dosemeter on an ISO slab phantom Problem P4 Rick J Tanner National Radiological Protection Board Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0RQ, United Kingdom Intercomparison on the Usage of Computational Codes in Radiation Dosimetry Workshop in Bologna-Italy July P4: 1
2 Albedo dosemeters General features P4: 2
3 Albedo dosemeters: I Original concept from UKAEA in the 1960 s More than 30 years later still one of the most commonly used personal dosemeters Basic principle relies on the detection of neutrons moderated in the body Sensitive volume shielded from direct neutrons Use capture reactions for detection Shield using material with large thermal neutron capture cross-section P4: 3
4 Albedo dosemeters: II Albedo field has a strong thermalized component Capture reactions such as 6 Li(n, t) or 10 B(N, α) detect the backscattered field with good efficiency 6 Li(n, t) is particularly useful because LiF is commonly used for thermoluminescence detectors (TLDs) Shield from incident thermals using boron-loaded plastic holder or cadmium Can add an unshielded element to give additional information on field hardness P4: 4
5 Albedo dosemeters: III Natural lithium is 7.5% 6 Li, 92.5% 7 Li Typically β/γ TL-detectors 99.93% 7 Li Typically neutron TL-detectors 95.6% 6 Li Use four elements: two 7 Li enriched to give the photon response and two 6 Li enriched to give the neutron response Algorithm for dose equivalent involves subtraction of the low LET component and correction for field hardness P4: 5
6 Important capture cross-sections (JEF-PC) B(n, α) Cross-section (barns) Li(n, t) Cd(n, γ) Neutron energy (ev) P4: 6
7 6 Li cross-sections (JEF-PC) Li(n, t) Cross-section (barns) Elastic Total Li(n, p) Neutron energy (ev) P4: 7
8 P4 Specification P4: 8
9 Problem Model the photon response using the absorbed dose to the TL-material. Assume light output is proportional to dose. Model the neutron response by counting 6 Li(n, t)α events. Assume that the neutron response is proportional to the number of capture reactions. Calculate the fraction of the neutron and photon response that is due to backscatter P4: 9

15 General Implied kerma approximation Calculation in vacuum Need air column for secondary charged particle build up Variable depth because of ranges of secondaries Diameter of column? Electron transport will produce significant differences where the ranges of the electrons are significant Rapid calculation 33 kev main problem because of poor penetration Little need for variance reduction Generally very good agreement: refer to paper for results P4: 15

22 Normalization solution: VR Main problem is to get thermal neutrons back from the phantom, through boron-loaded plastic to the TL-element Introduced extra cells in the vacuum and phantom to increase the response Used energy dependent weight windows to allow high-energy neutrons to pass through the phantom but increase the number of lower energy neutrons WWE:n = 100 mev, 10 ev, 1 kev, 1 MeV, 10 MeV P4: 22

68 Conclusions - neutrons I Several participants noted that they are not familiar with this type of dosemeter (nor is the author!) 1 participant comes from a laboratory that runs a TLDalbedo service others (including the author) come from laboratories that run β/γ TLD services Impressed by the quality of some of the reports Some late entries were clearly not given as much time as they otherwise would have received I have not interacted with the participants to give them a chance to submit revised data, although some authors did revise their data spontaneously P4: 68
69 Conclusions - neutrons II Some problems with tallying/scoring Some FM card values not calculated correctly Some participants tallied over LiF Others have errors that have not been explained Correct cross-section: c or y? Not very much use of variance reduction Statistical errors reported in almost all cases Some very large, energy dependent errors Deterministic calculation quickest and better than badly applied Monte Carlo P4: 69
