Diamond detector in absorbed dose measurements in high‐energy linear accelerator photon and electron beams
Diamond detectors (DD) are preferred in small field dosimetry of radiation beams because of small dose profile penumbras, better spatial resolution, and tissue-equivalent properties. We investigated a commercially available 'microdiamond' detector in realizing absorbed dose from first principles. A microdiamond detector, type TM 60019 with tandem electrometer is used to measure absorbed doses i...
متن کاملRadiation protection at high energy electron accelerators.
An overview is presented of radiation protection at high energy electron accelerator facilities. By 'high energy' is meant the energy domain beyond a few tens of MeV, where electromagnetic showers are the determining and dominant factor for beam interactions with matter. The basic components of electron accelerators are described and their potential impact on radiation safety. The paper then co...
متن کاملCalorimetry for Absorbed-dose Measurements at BNM-LNHB
At BNM-LNHB, the references in terms of absorbed dose to water are based on graphite calorimeter measurements. In the cobalt-60 beam, measurements were performed directly with the graphite calorimeter in a graphite phantom. Absorbed dose to water in a water phantom was then determined using a transfer method by means of relative measurements made with ionisation chambers and Fricke dosimeters. ...
متن کاملDetermination of absorbed dose calibration factors for therapy level electron beam ionization chambers.
Over several years the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has been developing an absorbed dose calibration service for electron beam radiotherapy. To test this service, a number of trial calibrations of therapy level electron beam ionization chambers have been carried out during the last 3 years. These trials involved 17 UK radiotherapy centres supplying a total of 46 chambers of the NACP, Mark...
متن کاملTransition radiation detectors for energy measurements at high Lorentz factors
The characteristic dependence of the intensity of transition radiation (TR) on the Lorentz factor g 1⁄4 E=mc of a primary particle is key to a number of practical applications. In particular, one may use TR detectors for energy measurements of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei in a region where alternate techniques are difficult to apply. However, a serious constraint can be the saturation of the TR yiel...
