  • Abstract
    We have conducted tests at the Fermilab Booster of ionization chambers to be used as monitors of the NuMI neutrino beamline. The chambers were exposed to proton fluxes of up to 1012 particles/cm2/1.56 μs. We studied space charge effects which can reduce signal collection from the chambers at large charged particle beam intensities.
