Primary Transducer for Measuring Flux Density of Charged Particles

  • IONIZING RADIATION MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The design and main metrological characteristics are presented for a Faraday cup type primary transducer for measuring electron flux density with maximum energy to 20 MeV and protons with maximum energy to 100 MeV, in the range 1·105–1·1010 cm–2·sec–1, by transfer the units to measuring instruments incorporated into heliogeophysical equipment systems.
