[ RadSafe ] pulse x-rays

[Neill Stanford]

At the Individual Monitoring Conference (IM2010) in Athens this month, there
was some great data presented by the PTB on the response of various personal
dosimeters to pulsed and/or high dose rate fields. As expected, TLD and
other passive detectors (OSL, glass, DIS) were unaffected by the timing or
dose rate. 
Electronic dosimeters were not immune and the magnitude of the error
depended on the specific design. 
The problems with timing circuitry's inability to accurately measure pulsed
fields have been reported since the late 80's.

The proceedings of IM2010 will be published in an upcoming special issue of
Radiation Protection Dosimetry.

Dear Radsafe, 

How efficient are TLD's badges in reading pulse x-rays?
