Abstract :
Self-powered detectors are potentially valuable in the monitoring and control of the intense bremsstrahlung beams produced by clinical and other linear electron accelerators. The present paper describes the design, construction, and operation of special self-powered detectors for indicating the centroid of the bremsstrahlung beam profile.
