  • Abstract
    A dosimetry system was designed and constructed based on silicon calorimeters. Both silicon thermocouple and thermistor calorimeters, used in the study of Ipp measurements of silicon transistors, are described. The system provided active total-dose measurements at six radiation facilities: a Linac and five FXR pulsers. The system gave accurate and consistent results with a minimum of complications.
