Abstract

In order to accurately evaluate the exposures received by individuals working near high-energy accelerators it is necessary to measure the separate components in the radiation field and to determine their energy spectrum. Since no single instrument or detector will do this, a variety of different detectors and instruments must be used. Three recent developments in technique for monitoring particulate radiation above 20 MeV use nuclear emulsion, elemental mercury, and Be7 production in light elements; below 20 MeV, the use of moderated foils of In, Au, and Co has been extended to include Ta.
