INDIVIDUAL MONITORING AT ACCELERATOR CENTRES

Christian Wernli*

Paul Scherrer Institute, 5232 Villigen, Switzerland

* Corresponding author: christian.wernli{at}psi.ch

The accurate determination of personal dose equivalent requires the proper use of appropriate radiological quantities and units, knowledge of the dose equivalent response of the personal dosemeters used and detailed information on the fluence as well as dose equivalent spectra at the workplaces. This information can then be used to select the appropriate dosemeters, to set up the optimum calibration conditions and to introduce, in case of need, normalisation factors for application in specific radiation fields. High-energy neutrons contribute significantly to the radiation fields around high-energy particle accelerators. Examples for procedures and methods to determine personal dose equivalent at accelerator centres are given.
