Which type of dosimeter is best for pulse short (duration let say 10 ns) dose measurement purpose?
Let's just say that he has a unique job in the industry...russ_watters said:10ns pulses sounds.....odd. can you say exactly what the application is?
If I want to measure the dose of FXR machine which may be use for radiography purpose. Such a machine produce output x-ray pulse of ns wedth.russ_watters said:None? By definition a dosimeter measures dose over time. Or do you mean pulses over time?

Other types of instruments can provide an exposure rate (expressed as milliroentgen per hour or mR/hr). These counters must be calibrated to read a particular type of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma, neutron, x-ray) as well as the amount of energy emitted. The reading will only be accurate for that type of radiation and that energy level. And these instruments need to be calibrated regularly to be sure they are providing correct information over time.
A dosimeter is a device that measures the amount of radiation exposure an individual receives. It is important for 10 ns pulse dose measurement because it allows for accurate and precise measurement of the short, high-intensity bursts of radiation that can occur in certain environments.
The best dosimeter for 10 ns pulse dose measurement is one that has a fast response time, high sensitivity, and can accurately measure and record short bursts of radiation. It should also have a wide dynamic range to capture a broad range of radiation levels.
A dosimeter measures radiation exposure by using a detector, such as a scintillator or semiconductor, that converts the energy from radiation into an electrical signal. The dosimeter then records and integrates these signals over time to determine the total exposure.
Yes, dosimeters can be used for various types of radiation, including continuous radiation, pulsed radiation, and even mixed radiation fields. The dosimeter may need to be calibrated or have different settings for each type of radiation.
While dosimeters are highly accurate and useful for measuring 10 ns pulse doses, they do have some limitations. For example, they may not be able to measure extremely high doses of radiation, and they may need to be recalibrated periodically to maintain accuracy.
