Development of Precise Beta Dosimeter

The use of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) for beta dosimetry has been encumbered by the energy-dependent responses of TLDs to beta radiation. This energy-dependent response is due to the low penetrating ability of beta particles. Thus the determination of the beta dose imparted to an exposed TLD chip can be accurately determined only if the energy distribution of beta radiation is correctly accounted for. So precise beta dosimeter used TLD chips place under several aluminum filters of varying thicknesses and developed to correctly determine doses due to radiation fields where the beta energy distribution is unknown.
