A flow calorimetric method of determining electron beam energy
Description
The construction of an adiabatic flow calorimeter using water as the working substance is described. It was shown that at high dose rates the heat defect due to chemical reactions in water was small (of the order of 0.3%) and that under high dose rate conditions flow calorimetry could be used as a method of measuring the energy of high intensity electron beams. Measurements made with a 15 MeV linear accelerator are reported and compared with magnetic measurements. (author)
