Improved characterisation of the HPA PADC neutron personal dosemeter

The fast neutron energy dependence of response of the HPA PADC neutron personal dosemeter has been measured from 144 keV to 19 MeV using monoenergetic neutron fields. Below 144 keV the relative energy and angle dependence of response have been determined using MCNP-4C2. New data from the SIGMA field at Cadarache, France, have been used to determine the appropriate scaling factor for the calculated response to thermal and intermediate energy neutrons. These newly determined response characteristics of the dosemeter are discussed with respect to its performance in the EVIDOS workplace field irradiations.
