Abstract :
Some characteristics of diamond detectors have been investigated with a view to finding out the possibilities of their application for X-ray and δ-radiation dosimetry in medical radiology. The results of this investigation are described. The design of a tissue-equivalent diamond dosimeter is shown. It possesses a uniform energy dependence and threshold sensitivity of lμR/s to the dose rate.
