Abstract:
:This paper describes the results of the simulation of a radiophotoluminescent (RPL) dosemeter with the Monte Carlo transport code MCNPX. The aim of this study is to calculate the response with MCNPX of the RPL dosemeter in terms of equivalent doses H(p) (0.07) and H(p)(10) using X-ray photon radiation qualities N series, together with S-Cs and S-Co nuclide radiation qualities, specified in ISO 4037-1. After comparison with reference values versus experimental results, the deviation of the theoretical responses of the RPL dosemeter proved to be lower than 5 % for reference values and lower than 10 % for experimental results. This good correlation validates the model over the energy range studied.
