Abstract
SiPMs are low-power and compact, allowing the prototype dosemeters produced for testing to fit entirely within a standard existing personal dosemeter housing. Tests were carried out in the low-scatter neutron facility at NPL, with measurements made both on-phantom and free-in-air. The former were done to evaluate the device's performance as a personal dosemeter, and the latter to explore its potential as a very light neutron area survey meter. In this paper the experimental results are presented, performance issues encountered during the trials are discussed, and preferred application scenarios are proposed.
