  Abstract

The availability of low cost personal dosemeters is very important for routine worker monitoring. The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of commercial silicon diodes, commonly used for infrared communication, as a personal radiation monitor. The instrument prototype was characterised both as an area monitor and a personal monitor. Instrument response was measured in the energy range form 37 keV to 60Co energy. The angular response was also evaluated too.
