    Abstract This article addresses practical issues as being faced in the process of testing, verification and calibration of passive and active personal neutron dosemeters. Namely, a limited choice of neutron sources and geometric limitations occurring when ISO water phantom is used. The requirements of international standards for personal neutron dosemeters and the possibilities to fulfil them are discussed briefly.

    Abstract Recently, the ICRU released Report 95, where new operational quantities for external radiation exposure are defined. The new quantities are defined in close relation to the protection quantities. This change affects the practice use of dosemeters. That is why the instruments must be adapted to the measurement of new quantities before their implementing as legally binding. The discrepancies depend on radiation spectra-particle type, energy of particles and direction of incidence. To analyse the performance of currently used instruments, irradiations in photon and neutron fields of various energies were performed for personal and area dosemeters. In this work, the response of photon and neutron personal dosemeters in conditions of rotational geometry is presented. The difference between the responses with respect to the new or old operational quantity was not large, which corresponded to the similar reference values for this irradiation geometry. The mutual ratio depended on the specific radiation quality and geometry. The behaviour of different types of dosemeters varied too.

    Abstract New operational quantities for external radiation exposure presented by the ICRU brought changes, which can affect the use of current dosemeters. Dosemeters calibrated in the old quantities should be tested, and the results obtained should be analyzed with respect to the new quantities. The difference between the old and new quantities depends primarily on photon energy. This work concerns instruments for area monitoring, which were exposed to reference photon and neutron spectra of mean energies from 65 to 1250 keV and from 0.02 to 10 MeV, respectively. As expected, it was revealed that the current photon dosemeters overestimate the new quantity ambient dose. For the measurements within the energy interval chosen, it seems to be acceptable to implement a correction factor to optimize the response. For the purposes of measurements of photons of lower energies, further research would be needed. To adapt the response of the neutron dosemeter tested, recalibration or redesign can be considered, but no fundamental changes seem to be necessary for the investigated spectra.

    Abstract The graphite pile was set up at CMI to provide reference thermal neutron field for metrology and dosimetry purposes. It consists of three Pu-Be and three Am-Be radionuclide sources located in a 1.95 m (width) × 1.95 m (length) × 2.0 m (height) graphite moderator block. The neutron field in the volume of the experimental channel with dimensions of 40 cm × 40 cm × 135 cm (depth) was characterised experimentally and by Monte-Carlo calculations. Neutron fluence was determined by the activation of gold foils and Manganese tablets irradiated in nine different positions and by two 3He detectors of different construction irradiated in one position (bare and covered in three spherical PE moderators of 3, 3.5 and 4 inch diameter). Weighted mean value of the neutron fluence rate measured by all the abovementioned detectors in the pile centre was 2.91 × 104 cm-2 s-1 ± 1.8%. This value was used as a calibration factor for the Monte-Carlo model predictions. The neutron spectral fluence rate calculated by validated Monte-Carlo model was used to determine the conventionally true ambient and personal dose equivalent rates at different positions.

    Abstract MoEDAL is designed to identify new physics in the form of long-lived highly ionizing particles produced in high-energy LHC collisions. Its arrays of plastic nuclear-track detectors and aluminium trapping volumes provide two independent passive detection techniques. We present here the results of a first search for magnetic monopole production in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions using the trapping technique, extending a previous publication with 8 TeV data during LHC Run 1. A total of 222 kg of MoEDAL trapping detector samples was exposed in the forward region and analyzed by searching for induced persistent currents after passage through a superconducting magnetometer. Magnetic charges exceeding half the Dirac charge are excluded in all samples and limits are placed for the first time on the production of magnetic monopoles in 13 TeV pp collisions. The search probes mass ranges previously inaccessible to collider experiments for up to five times the Dirac charge.

    Abstract MoEDAL is designed to identify new physics in the form of stable or pseudostable highly ionizing particles produced in high-energy Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collisions. Here we update our previous search for magnetic monopoles in Run 2 using the full trapping detector with almost four times more material and almost twice more integrated luminosity. For the first time at the LHC, the data were interpreted in terms of photon-fusion monopole direct production in addition to the Drell-Yan-like mechanism. The MoEDAL trapping detector, consisting of 794 kg of aluminum samples installed in the forward and lateral regions, was exposed to 4.0  fb^{-1} of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHCb interaction point and analyzed by searching for induced persistent currents after passage through a superconducting magnetometer. Magnetic charges equal to or above the Dirac charge are excluded in all samples. Monopole spins 0, ½, and 1 are considered and both velocity-independent and-dependent couplings are assumed. This search provides the best current laboratory constraints for monopoles with magnetic charges ranging from two to five times the Dirac charge.
