Creators

Description

A radiation dosimeter apparatus is described comprising: a saturable pn junction quiescently biased into forward conduction and located to receive an unknown sub microsecond pulse of radiation from an ionizing radiation source; means for measuring the time required after termination of the radiation pulse for the pn junction to return from saturated condition to the quiescent forward biased condition; predetermined correlating means, relating saturation time with radiation intensity, for converting the measured saturation time to a measure of radiation intensity
