Abstract
Photon dose measurements in radiation fields having the proper characteristics for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) present several troubles. The thermal neutron flux is very high and produces a significant contribution to the response of most dosimeters. The consistency of photon dose measurements with CaF2:Tm and LiF:Mg, Ti thermoluminescent dosimeters has been studied. A method is described for obtaining the gamma dose with TLD-700 and some results are presented to test its reliability.Pubblicazioni consigliate
