ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
The present work relates to a sensitive neutron dosimeter, a device for monitoring neutron dose in some accelerator and reactor sites. This device is capable of measuring a neutron dose as small as 0.1 microSv using superheated liquid as a sensitive liquid. The nucleation was measured by the volumetric method developed in our laboratory. The dose response of superheated drops of four liquids having boiling points of 8.92, -29.79, -40.75 and -45.6 degrees C, irradiated by a 3 Ci Am-Be neutron source has also been presented in this article.
