Effects of irradiation on Hall probe sensitivity

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, CA (USA)

Description

Four Hall probes from two different manufactures were exposed to increasing amounts of radiation at the LLNL Advanced Test Accelerator and were compared periodically to an NMR Gaussmeter at magnetic field values of 2 to 8 kG. The radiation was primarily bremsstrahlung from a 45-MeV electron beam. The probes were mounted near a beam dump, along with LiF thermoluminescent detectors to keep track of the cumulative dose. The data show a threshold near 100 krad, beyond which point the probes tend to lose sensitivity and perform outside their nominal error limits. 3 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab
