Neutron response characterisation of an OSL neutron dosemeter.
The neutron response was characterised for Al(2)O(3):C material coated with (6)Li(2)CO(3). Al(2)O(3):C material, an optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) dosemeter, which is sensitive to both photons and beta radiation but is mostly insensitive to neutron radiation. The Al(2)O(3):C material was coated with (6)Li(2)CO(3) to create a material sensitive to neutrons, beta and photon radiation. In this paper, the neutron response of this new OSL material (OSLN) will be compared with various other neutron measurement technologies in laboratory and field environments.
