Abstract
A p-type silicon radiation detector has been constructed and the effect of radiation damage on sensitivity and dose rate dependence has been studied. The dose rate dependence showed, in contrast to an n-type silicon detector, a linear dose rate response for clinically relevant radiation qualities, dose rates and preirradiation doses.Keywords
