Изменение характеристик переизлучающих волокон Y-11 и O-2 под действием гамма облучения

Abstract

The effect of 60Co gamma radiation on the intensity of the reemitted light at the exit from WLS-fibers of Y-11 M and O-2 M type WLS fibers and the subsequent restoration of the characteristics of irradiated fibers after exposure to room temperature are investigated. Irradiation of a low dose rate (0.048 Mrad / h) to a dose of 1 Mrad leads to a slight decrease in the intensity of the reemitted light at the exit of both types of fibers, and with a further increase in the dose, the curve does not change. When irradiated with a dose rate of 0.158 Mrad / h, the characteristics of both types of fibers deteriorate significantly. When the irradiated samples are held at room temperature, fiber characteristics are restored.
