A sensitive method of calorimetrically measuring the energy flux of an x-ray beam is described. Thermistors are employed as the temperature-sensitive elements and are embedded in the irradiated material in a calorimeter. Details and results of the application of this technique to a betatron x-ray beam are described. This method can be applied to x-ray beams of other energies and does not require high intensities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
