For whole body monitoring thermo luminescence TL, OSL Film RPL etc are used at chest level or so. Of which material phosphor your dosimeter is made and what is frequency of use?
What does it measure Hp(x)?
What type of radiations it can measure other than photons?
The two most common types of TLDs are calcium fluoride and lithium fluoride, with one or more impurities to produce trap states for energetic electrons. The former is used to record gamma exposure, the latter for gamma and neutron exposure (indirectly, using the Li-6 (n,alpha) nuclear reaction; for this reason, LiF dosimeters may be enriched in lithium-6 to enhance this effect or enriched in lithium-7 to reduce it). Other types include beryllium oxide,calcium sulfate doped with Tm. As the radiation interacts with the crystal it causes electrons in the crystal's atoms to jump to higher energy states, where they stay trapped due to intentionally introduced impurities (usually manganese or magnesium) in the crystal, until heated. Heating the crystal causes the electrons to drop back to their ground state, releasing a photon of energy equal to the energy difference between the trap state and the ground state.
In Romania the Regulatory Body authorizes the systems of individual dosimetry and appoints the individual dosimetric services approved in compliance with the national regulations. The systems of dosimetry are used with the purpose of evaluating the individual penetrating dose equivalent, H(p)(10) and the individual superficial dose equivalent, H(p)(0,07).
The following types of dosimetric systems may be used with the purpose of the individual monitoring provided that they meet the requirements of these norms:
a) systems of dosimetry with film;
b) thermoluminiscent systems of dosimetry
c) electronic digital systems of dosimetry
