Abstract
A novel design principle for filters of a personal dosemeter badge, th e gliding-shadow method, is presented which allows the angular depende nce of the dosemeter response to be considerably reduced. This method has been applied to design a two-element film dosemeter. The new film dosemeter is capable of measuring H-p(10) for photons with energies ra nging from 17 keV to 1250 keV and angles of incidence up to 75 degrees with a maximum deviation of less than +/-40% using a linear combinati on as the dose calculating algorithm.
