Answer to Question #228 Submitted to "Ask the Experts"

Category: Doses and Dose Calculations — Basic dose information, dose quantities, units

The following question was answered by an expert in the appropriate field:

I need to make a review on neutron dosimetry using solid state detectors type Columbia Resin or CR-39. I wonder if you could help me look in Physics Abstracts, Nuclear Instruments and Methods, Radiation Protection Dosimetry, and Health Physics.

We are not able to do custom literature searches for you since we do not have a staff. All of our experts are volunteers. However, you might find the text from the Health Physics Society (HPS) 1996 Summer School helpful to you. It is Applications of New Technology: External Dosimetry, edited by Jack Higginbotham. In particular, the Chapter "Neutron Dosimetry" has a section on CR-39 detectors. The text is available from the HPS Secretariat.
