Abstract
A new detector pair of α-Al2O3:C + Li2B4O7:Cu,Ag, based on evaluation using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technique, was placed in the Karlsruhe type albedo cassette and its neutron response was studied in monoenergetic neutron fields with energies in the range from 24 keV to 14.8 MeV and in the field of a bare 252Cf radionuclide source. The ability and usefulness of such an albedo neutron dosimeter for personnel neutron monitoring based on OSL technique is discussed. The OSL Hp(10) response of the α-Al2O3:C + Li2B4O7:Cu,Ag dosimeters was found to decrease by more than two orders of magnitude with increasing neutron energy, as known for albedo dosimeters and was comparable to the results reported for the combination of α-Al2O3:C + 6,7LiF OSL dosimeters.
