Embodiment

Below in conjunction with specific embodiment the present invention is carried out detailed description.

Two parameters to be asked of compensating filter are thickness t and voidage p.If the response of the primary energy of gamma dosimeter is K before the not compensated ₁, K ₂... K _n＞1,

It is right to represent ⁶⁰The gamma-ray response normalizing of Co, wherein 1,2 ... the ray energy that n is corresponding different.When applying parameter is thickness t, and after the compensating filter of voidage p, its energy response just becomes:

$(1-p)e^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{1}t}\·K_1+{\mathrm{pK}}_1$

$(1-p)e^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{2}t}\·K_2+{\mathrm{pK}}_2$

$(1-p)e^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{n}t}\·K_n+{\mathrm{pK}}_n---\left(1\right)$

μ in the system of equations (1) ₁, μ ₂... μ _nBe the linear attenuation coefficient of used compensating filter shielding material to corresponding ray energy, K in the formula ₁, K ₂... K _nAnd μ ₁, μ ₂... μ _nAll can be recorded by known experimental technique, have only t, the p binomial is a unknown number to be asked.

The primary energy of gamma dosimeter response K before the not compensated ₁, K ₂... K _nValue; Be in secondary standard dosimeter laboratory (SSDL); Filter a series of line matter of x reference radiation with the narrow pedigree row that meet the ISO4037 requirement; Respond known secondary standard dosage (rate) appearance and the quantimeter to be compensated of calibration factor with method of substitution at identical position difference irradiation energy one by one, try to achieve through the reading that compares them.And the linear attenuation coefficient μ of compensating filter shielding material ₁, μ ₂... μ _nValue; Be the even book sheet that this material is pressed into different-thickness, record its thickness, use then and the identical line matter of above-mentioned measurement gamma dosimeter primary energy response with weighing and measuring area-method; Record the half thickness HVL under each line matter (being energy) successively with absorption process, then by formula

In theory, it is impossible making in the top system of equations (1) all equations be equal to 1.On the mathematics, only possibly make any two equations equal 1, all the other equations all are not equal to 1.In order to look after all energy, make above-mentioned each equation all relatively approach 1, can make

$(1-p)e^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{n}t}\·K_n+p{K}_n-1={\mathrm{\δ}}_n$ n＝1、2......

And make

to be tending towards minimal value

Like this, just, the available method that is similar to least square method is found the solution:

Get $\frac{\∂s}{\∂t}=0,$ $\frac{\∂s}{\∂p}=0$

Can get the associating equation that another group only contains two unknown numbers:

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\underset{i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}(1-p){\mathrm{\δ}}_i{\mathrm{\μ}}_i{K}_i{e}^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{i}t}=0\\ \underset{i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}{\mathrm{\δ}}_i{K}_i(1-e^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{i}t})=0\end{array}\right.---\left(2\right)$

${\mathrm{\δ}}_i=(1-p)e^{-{\mathrm{\μ}}_{i}t}{K}_i+p{K}_i-1$ i＝1、2......n

Just can solve t and two unknown numbers of p by above-mentioned simultaneous equations (2).It is to look after the unknown number t of all equations in the above-mentioned system of equations (1) and the optimal selection of p.

Said method, represent to be with mathematical usual method:

Suppose that x, two unknown numbers of y (waiting to ask) will satisfy following n equation n＞2.

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{f}_1(x.y)=0\\ f_2(x.y)=0\\ f_3(x.y)=0\end{array}\right.---\left(3\right)$

Then can establish f ₁(x.y)=δ ₁

f ₂(x.y)＝δ ₂

Order $S=\underset{i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}{\mathrm{\δ}}_i^2,$ Ask again $\frac{\∂s}{\∂x}=0,$ $\frac{\∂s}{\∂y}=0$

Just can get another group simultaneous equations

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}F(x.y)=0\\ G(x.y)=0\end{array}\right.---\left(4\right)$

The x that solves thus, y are the optimal selections of separating of above-mentioned system of equations (3).

With GJ-III personal stereo dosemeter is example, this instrument with the J-613 counter tube as detecting element.Its primary energy response is:

In order to improve its energy response, former before this in the counter tube outsourcing the thick sheet lead of one deck 1mm, make a call to 30% hole on the sheet lead with the drill bit of φ 2, (being that voidage is 30%), under such compensation condition, the energy response of instrument obtains part and improves, but the low energy place still than ⁶⁰The response of Co exceeds 2-3 doubly.In order further to improve its energy response, the application of optimal compensation principle is used tin (S instead _n) make shielding material, selecting thickness is t=1.5mm, and getting voidage is p=0.18, and the energy response of GJ-III personal stereo dosemeter is further improved greatly, and result of calculation sees the following form:

Timing

is merely 0.0687.

On the implementing process; To originally on lead, punch, change tin sheet into, and process three rings, be enclosed within on the counter tube with 1.5mm; Stay a crack between per 2 rings; The width of three rings, two seams accounts for 18% of counter tube effective length, does like this, can make instrument rotate howsoever in the φ direction that to remain voidage be 0.18.Owing to technologic reason, actual energy response does not have the so good of Theoretical Calculation, but can remain on basically ± 30% in.
