  • Abstract
    The use of silicon photodiodes for local beam monitoring during neutron SEE tests is demonstrated. Results from irradiations at the LANSCE ICE House are presented and analyzed. Local fluence measurements can be made without significant pile-up, even in pulsed beams. Beam degradation by scatterers such as upstream experiments can be quantified.
