✦ Synopsis
PIN photodiodes are used in a novel application for the determination, within the energy range from 90 to 485 keV, of the intensity of X-rays generated by an experimental electron accelerator. An easily assembled X-ray monitor has been built with a low-cost PIN photodiode and operational amplifiers. The output voltage signal obtained from this device can be related to the electron beam current and the accelerating voltage of the accelerator in order to estimate the dose rate delivered by bremsstrahlung.
