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.
