The invention discloses an automatic calibration method for a personal
dosimeter, and belongs to the technical field of personal dosimeters. Comprising the following steps: keeping the relative position of a
detector in a personal
dosimeter and an exemption source in a standard source tool unchanged; starting a calibration mode, and collecting an accumulated
dose value in unit time; calculating the
time difference between the time when the standard source tool is used for calibration last time and the time when the standard source tool is used for calibration, and determining the
attenuation coefficient of an exemption source in the standard source tool according to the
time difference; calculating an error value between the accumulated
dose value collected last time and the accumulated
dose value collected this time, and judging whether an error range meets an error requirement or not according to the
attenuation coefficient; if not, the correction coefficient is changed, the accumulated dose value is collected again within the unit time, the error value is calculated, and calibration is completed until the error requirement is met. According to the invention, measurement errors caused by performance drift of the
detector can be timely found and corrected through an automatic calibration process which is periodically triggered or triggered by a user.
