title: The energy response of LiF, film and a chemical dosemeter to high energy photons and electrons.
abstract: The physical responses of LiF, film and a chemical dosemeter in high energy photon and electron beams has been studied. It is shown that the response for film and the chemical dosemeter does not change significantly up to 42 MeV, while for LiF it decreases by about 10%. Analysis of calculations and measurements showed that this decrease could not be explained by existing theories.
