Description

Since end of 1974 a pion beam is available at SIN for irradiation of biological samples. A description of the equipment to monitor the beam and for measuring the dose at the point of interest is given. The methods used are ionization chambers, one of them tissue-equivalent, and scintillators. The processing of the data is done analog and for the scanning of the field by PDP 11/20. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Seit Ende 1974 steht am SIN ein Pionenstrahl fuer Bestrahlungen von biologischen Objekten zur Verfuegung. Es wird das System zur Strahlueberwachung sowie zur Messung der Dosis am Ort der Bestrahlung beschrieben. Zur Anwendung kommen Ionisationskammern (u.a. gewebeaequivalente) und Szintillatoren. Die Auswertung geschieht analog und fuer Feldausmessungen ueber eine PDP 11/20. (orig.)
