Abstract

A method is provided for determining the dose rate {dot over (H)} of nuclear radiation field, namely a gamma radiation field, with a radiation detection system (RDS), comprising a scintillator, a photodetector, an amplifier and a pulse measurement electronics. The pulse measurement electronics includes a sampling analog to digital converter, where the nuclear radiation deposes at least some of its energy in the scintillator, thereby producing excited states in the scintillation material, with the excited states decaying thereafter under emission of photons with a decay time τ. Photons are absorbed by the photodetector under emission of electrons, those electrons forming a current pulse, said current pulse being amplified so that the resulting current signal can be processed further in order to determine the charge of the pulse measured.
