Description
Summary:An effective quality assurance programme is initiated for the use of the electron beam with energies up to 3 MeV. The key element of the programme is the establishment of a relationship between the standardised beam to the routine technique which is employed to verify the beam parameter. A total absorbing calorimeter was adopted as a suitable reference system and when used in combination with the electron current densitymeter (ECD) will enable to determine the mean energy for electron with energies between 1 to 3 MeV. An appropriate method of transfering the standard parameter is studied and the work that is expected to optimise the accuracy attainable with routine check-up of the irradiation parameter are presented.
