Abstract :
A lithium-drifted silicon detector used as a pulse radiation dosimeter is described. It is used to measure the depth-dose distribution of pion beams in water. The fractional dose due to energy depositions above a particular energy in the detector can also be measured. Such measurements yield information on the distribution of ionization density. Preliminary results of the pion-beam dosimetry using this pulse dosimeter are given.
