Abstract:
The beam current monitoring system at the NPS electron Linac was studied to determine its performance under varying conditions of machine operation. The efficiency of the secondary emission monitors SEM Efficiency, defined as the ratio of SEM current of Faraday cup current, was found to increase with increasing beam energy, increase with the introduction of targets into the beam, and vary erratically with SEM foil surface conditions. No dependence on beam current was observed. The spatial variation of electron fluence time-integrated flux was investigated using RACM 203 radiachromic film developed by the ECG Corporation. The optical density of this film was found to vary linearly with absorbed dose over a range of 5 to 40 megarads. Author
