    As a reference photon field, several radionuclides have been used frequently, such as 241Am,137Cs and60 Co for calibration. These nuclides provide mono-energy photons for dosemeters covering few tens of keV-MeV. The main energy around 200 keV is important for both environmental and medical fields since the former should consider scattering photons and the later should measure photons from X-ray generator. In our previous work, a backscattered layout can provide a uniform photon field spectra and dose rate with an energy of 190 keV by using an affordable intensity 137 Cs gamma source. Several other quasi-monoenergetic photon fields in the range of 100-200 keV could be obtained by using several available gamma sources. Two calibrated environmental CsI(Tl) survey meters, Horiba PA-1000 and Mr. Gamma A2700, had been measured with the developed backscattered photon field to understand energy-dependent features in order to confirm dosemeter readings. Consequently, both scintillator instruments are sensitive for measurements of the relatively low dose rates at 190 keV.

    In this study, we developed a method for directly determining the energy deposited over the entire energy range by monitoring the light output from a plastic scintillator under gamma irradiation. The relative light output was analyzed based on Birks' semi-empirical formula for ionization to obtain the quenching parameter as kB = 0.016 ± 0.0004 g cm-2 MeV-1. Comparisons of experimental and calculated results for the light output spectra showed that considering the quenching effect, background subtraction, source casing, and energy sampling were essential for achieving good agreement.
