Abstract
The Hp(10) energy response of the personal dosemeter Seibersdorf and its two different filtered LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100)
thermoluminescence (TL) detectors are investigated. A close-to-reality simulation model of the personal dosemeter badge
including the wrapped detector card was implemented with the MCNP Monte Carlo N-particle transport code. The comparison
of measured and computationally calculated response using a semi-empirical TL efficiency function is carried out to provide
information about the quality of the results of both methods, experiment and simulation. Similar to the experimental calibration
conditions, the irradiation of dosemeters centred on the front surface of the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) water slab phantom is simulated using ISO-4037 reference photon radiation qualities with mean energies between
24 keV and 1.25 MeV and corresponding ISO conversion coefficients. The comparison of the simulated and measured relative
Hp(10) energy responses resulted in good agreement within some percent except for the filtered TL element at lower photon
energies.
