    This study details estimating shallow-dose equivalent using a two-element dosimeter, aligning with Health Physics Society Standards. The research presents a mathematical model and evaluates a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) for beta and photon radiation.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Physics
    • Radiation Dosimetry
    • Nuclear Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate estimation of shallow-dose equivalent is crucial for radiation protection.
    • Existing dosimetry practices and standards guide radiation monitoring.
    • A new mandatory testing program in the U.S. necessitates reliable dosimeter performance evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the estimation of shallow-dose equivalent using a two-element dosimeter.
    • To present a mathematical formulation correlating dosimeter response with shallow-dose equivalent factors.
    • To evaluate the performance of a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) for shallow-dose equivalent determination.
