Theoretical Response of Electret Dosimeter to Ionizing Radiation

A theory regarding the response of an electret dosimeter to ionizing radiation was developed for both parallel-plate-type and coaxial-cylinder-type dosimeters. The theoretical analysis was made to include the gas-multiplication mode and the ionization-chamber mode on the basis of theories regarding gaseous electronics and ionization chambers. The experimental response of an electret dosimeter agreed with the theoretical response.
