Abstract (EN): Aiming to improve the neutron dosimetry in Brazil a gamma-neutron mixed field dosimeter using the techniques of TLAD and SSNTD was developed. Commercially available materials were preferentially used. The dosimeter was projected to evaluate gamma, intermediate (Albedo) and fast neutron doses from 241AmBe sources. Dosimetric properties such as gamma and neutron doses and angular responses were evaluated. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
