Intercomparison of dosimetry measurements at the alternating gradient synchrotron from 1986-1988.

The responses of several types of high-energy personnel neutron dosimeters were studied in the operational radiation fields at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. Included in the study are intercomparisons of polycarbonate, type A neutron track emulsion, allyl diglycol carbonate, electrochemical etch allyl diglycol carbonate, TLD-600, and TLD-700. Some of the passive measurements were compared with active tissue-equivalent instruments. The trend for many but not all of the measurements was for type A neutron track emulsion to report the highest neutron dose equivalent. The polycarbonate returned intermediate values while allyl diglycol carbonate usually reported the smallest values
