Absorbed Dose Distribution in a Pulse Radiolysis Optical Cell
When a liquid solution in an optical cell is irradiated by an intense pulsed electron beam, it may be important in the chemical analysis of the solution to know the distribution of energy deposited throughout the cell. For the present work, absorbed dose distributions were measured by thin radiochromic dye film dosimeters placed at various depths in a quartz glass pulse radiolysis cell.
The cell was irradiated with 30 ns pulses from a field-emission electron accelerator having a broad spectrum with a maximum energy of ≈MeV. The measured three-dimensional dose distributions showed sharp gradients in dose at the largest penetration depths in the cell and at the extreme lateral edges of the cell interior near the optical windows.
This method of measurement was convenient because of the high spatial resolution capability of the detector and the linearity and absence of dose-rate dependence of its response.
