Description
This paper investigates the effect of high-intensity radiation on the FEU-10 photomultiplier. The authors investigated the direct effect of ionizing radiation on the FEU-10 with an antimony-potassium-sodium-cesium photocathode with recording of activities exceeding tens to hundreds of megabecquerels, and examined possible ways to decrease this effect in order to decrease measurement error. To diminish the effect it is proposed that the operating mode of the photomultiplier be controlled by means of a modulator
