| Summary: | The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) operates a high energy electron accelerator (capable of energies up to 50 GeV). During operation the instantaneous dose rates in the vicinity of the beam pipe due to beam losses can be extremely high. This results in large accumulated doses to beamline components and nearby devices. Since these large doses can cause damage to some of these components and devices, there is always a need for high level dosimetry at SLAC. Several types of high level dosimeters are used in order to cover a wide range of doses extending from about 10 Gy to 1 MGy. These are optichromic, radiachromic, red perspex, cinemoid (bright rose film {number sign}48), and lexan dosimeters. The response curve for each of these dosimeters is presented. Some practical difficulties associated with their use in the field will also be reported. 6 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab. |
