Dose Course 2018_Flipping book

Raiders of the perfect detector

• High Repeatability • High Reproducibility [no variation of response with i.e. accumulated dose] • High Accuracy and precision • High Sensitivity • Adequate dose range and lineality of the response with dose • Energy independence • Insensitivity of the response to influence quantities (dose rate, temperature, pressure, direction…) • Small dimensions

Precision: Statistical reproducibility of measurements+resolution of measuring system Accuracy how closely the measurement value agrees with the true value.
