| Zusammenfassung | Measurements and calculations of pulse height spectra induced by normally incident neutrons with energies between 144 keV and 100MeV in silicon have been performed with the PTB prototype personal neutron dosemeters DOS-2002 and DOS-2005, based on silicon detectors with effective thicknesses of 40 and 5.6 μm, respectiveley. This work describes calculations using the PHITS code and compares measured and calculated pulse height spectra and personal dose equivalent responses. Measurements and calculations agree on an absolute scale by a factor better than 2. The personal dose equivalent response of the prototype personal neutron dosemeter DOS-2005 is much flatter than that of the DOS-2002 in the neutron energy range investigated. |
