Název v původním jazyce

Monte Carlo simulation of semiconductor-based detector in mixed radiation field in the atmosphere

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Calculation of radiation protection quantities in tissue equivalent material from measurements using semiconductor detectors requires correction factors for conversion of the measured values in the semiconductor material to the tissue equivalent material. This approach has been used many times in aircraft and for space dosimetry. In this paper, we present the results of Monte Carlo simulations which reveal the need to take into account both the radiation field and the detector material when performing the conversion of measured values to radiation protection quantities. It is shown that for low Z target material, most of the dose equivalent at aviation altitudes comes from neutrons originating from nuclear reactions, while in high Z targets most of the dose equivalent comes from photons, originating from electromagnetic reactions.
