A-C ION CHAMBER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4002402
A neutron-sensitive ionization chamber that uses variation of the potential of a pair of internal grids to achieve an a-c output was built. This chamber was tested in thermal neutron flux levels from 10>s5/sup / 10>s1/sup > / and found to be linear to 10>s8/sup / with a sensitivity of 2.5 x 10>s-/sup >> / peres rms per uuit thermal neutron flux. At higher flux levels the output current wss proportional to the 0.6 power of flux. The a-c ion chamber should not replace the common d-c sensor in ordinary applications, but it is intended for use in environments where very high values of insulation resisthnce cannot be maintained.
