IRRADIATION OF PIN DIODES - EXPERIMENT & SIMULATION

Developments in electronic dosemeters have been made recently for photons and neutrons using pin-diode. In this paper the response of the sensor is modeled by applying appropriate simulation codes for the pulse height distribution (energy response) for photon irradiations. Good agreement between experimental data and model calculations for narrow spectra x-ray and standard radionuclides was found. The important interaction regimes are interpreted correctly.
