An Analytical Correction for the TEPC Dose Equivalent Response Problem [Elektronische Daten] [G.C. Taylor] It is a well established fact that the dose equivalent measured by presently available tissue-equivalent proportional counters (TEPCs) is significantly lower than the ambient dose equivalent, H*(10), for neutrons with energies below several hundred keV, when using traditional methods of calibration (e.g. using proton edge or internal alpha source). Recent work at NPL has sought to correct this shortfall by investigating two analysis techniques that exploit the variation in shape of the microdosimetric spectra with neutron energy. The first involved the development of an alternative function to the ICRP Q(L) relationships which, when folded with the microdosimetric spectra produce values closer to the accepted ambient dose equivalent figures. The second approach relied on using the TEPC as a low resolution spectrometer by unfolding the measured spectra and applying fluence to H*(10) conversion factors. Both approaches have significantly improved the ambient dose equivalent response of the TEPC. Details of the methods used and the results obtained are presented.
