Abstract

AbstractReliable dosimetry systems are crucial for radiobiological experiments either to quantify the biological consequences of ionizing radiation or to reproduce results by other laboratories. Also, they are essential for didactic purposes in the field of radiation research. Professional dosemeters are expensive and difficult to use in exposure facilities with closed exposure chambers. Consequently, a simple, inexpensive, battery-driven dosemeter was developed that can be easily built using readily available components. Measurements were performed to validate its readout with photons of different energy and dose rate and to demonstrate the applicability of the dosemeter. It turned out that the accuracy of the dose measurements using the developed dosemeter was better than 10%, which is satisfactory for radiobiological experiments. It is concluded that this dosemeter can be used both for determining the dose rates of an exposure facility and for educational purposes.
