Dose Rate Measurements in Pulsed Radiation Fields by Means of an Organic Scintillator

A deficiency in the implementation of current radiation protection is the determination of the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) and the directional dose equivalent H´(0.07) in pulsed radiation fields. Conventional dosimeter systems are not suitable for measurements in photon fields comprising short ra...
