Thermoluminescent dosimeter
Thermoluminescent dosimeter
Nucleic acid amplification
A dosimeter based on sensitized film is one kind of radiation dosimeter, but there are other different kinds, and film badges are becoming less common. One widely known dosimeter is the direct read "pen style" electroscope dosimeter. Another "pen style" dosimeter is a miniature ionization chamber, but like the film badge dosimeter requires special equipment to read it later in a lab. Probably the most commonly used type of dosimeter outside of emergency response is the TLD, or thermoluminescent dosimeter.

A dosimeter is an instrument that measures the amount of hazardous material to which something or someone has been cumulatively exposed. The most common is the radiation dosimeter, which measures a person's or object's exposure to radiation.

There are different kinds.The thermoluminescent dosimeter has a crystal that stores energy when exposed to radiation and then emits light when heated.An OSL (optically stimulated luminescence) dosimeter works in a similar manner, except that a laser is used to stimulate the light emission instead of heat.To measure neutron radiation, a commonly used dosimeter uses solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs). For example, a small square of CR-39 (the same plastic used in many lenses for glasses) develops latent damage tracks as the neutrons collide with protons in the plastic. These latent tracks are later developed using a caustic solution, e.g., sodium hydroxide solution and the developed tracks are counted using a microscope.Hopefully someone else can add how other types of dosimeters work by improving this answer for you.
No, alpha particles will not be detected by dosimeter badges.
They are invented by NASA.
