Intercomparison of personal and ambient neutron detectors used for radiation protection in a synchrotron-based proton therapy facility: experimental and Monte Carlo results
Both WENDI-II and LUPIN-II are suitable for environmental neutron monitoring in synchrotron-based facilities. DOPEN tracks emerged as the most reliable passive personal dosimeter for H<sub>p</sub>(10). Monte Carlo simulations enhanced understanding of neutron field behavior and were validated, in terms of H*(10), by the experimental results. Recommendations for radiological protection include replicating accidental exposures with WENDI-II and LUPIN-II to estimate doses accurately.
