Abstract
The performance of a PIN silicon photodiode as a microdosimetric detec tor was explored. Microdosimetric spectra of a Cs-137 gamma source and that of an americium-beryllium neutron source were determined with a PIN photodiode as well as with a tissue-equivalent proportional counte r of 1 mu m simulated diameter. The spectra were compared.
