A radiation and alarm system (Amos II) for habitable areas of an accelerator complex

AMOS II was developed as a radiation monitor for use in experimental areas of the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS).AGS pulse width variations, several microseconds to one second within standard repetition rates, dictate the use of an integrating type detector.The detector assembly consists of a polyethylene lined, ethylene filled integrating pulse discharge ionization chamber (IPDIC) and associated electronics.This assembly may be operated remotely from the AMOS II chassis.
