A Study on the Angular Dependence of the PB-3 Dosimeter Using Teledyne 9150 TLD Reader System

열형광선량계(도시메터타입 : PB-3)의 방향의존성에 관한 연구

An angular dependence experiment was made and a performance test of the Teledyne dosimetry system was done in accordance with the ANSI N13.11-1992. The angular dependence experiment was performed with $^{137}Cs$ and low energy X-ray beam. Teledyne dosimetry system performed well at the $0^{\circ}$ angle of incidence for all dosimeters in both vertical and horizontal irradiations. It would have easily passed the 0.5 tolerance limit. But the dosimetry system was not performed well at the ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ angle of incidence for low energy X-ray beam. The accuracy for $^{137}Cs$ beam at all angles of incidence was within the 0.5 tolerance limit. Therefore performance of the dosimetry system could be considered acceptable in case that the dosimeter is irradiated to $^{137}Cs$ beam. However, it could not be acceptable for the dosimeter irradiated to low energy X-ray, especially at more than ${\pm}40^{\circ}$

Teledyne 9150 판독장치에서 사용되는 PB-3 열형광선량계의 방향의존성에 관한 실험을 실시하였고 ANSI N13.11-1992에 의거하여 성능실험을 실시하였다. 조사선원은 $^{137}Cs$과 X선이었다. Teledyne 9150 선량판독장치는 $0^{\circ}$에서는 모든 경우에 방향의존성에 대한 성능시험범주를 만족하였다. 그러나 저에너지 X선의 경우, ${\pm}60^{\circ}$에서는 방향의존성에 대한 성능시험범주를 만족할 수 없었으며 $^{137}Cs$은 모든 경우에 방향의존성에 대한 성능시험범주를 만족하였다.
