Abstract

Radiation produced during the operation of linear accelerators poses a potential threat to electronic devices installed in the accelerator tunnel. Therefore, a distributed radiation monitoring system was installed at five various spots in the Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) tunnel. The presented system allows us to measure radiation produced during the operation of a linear accelerator driving FLASH in real time. The system is composed of two modules: radiation-sensitive sensors and a radiation-tolerant readout system constructed with the application of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The neutron dosimeter was constructed using an innovative application of a static random access memory (SRAM), whereas a well-known radiation-sensitive RadFET was used for gamma quantification.
