MICROWAVE CAVITY DETECTOR FOR RADIATION. (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4163083
The effect of 10/sup 5/ r/hr cobalt-60 gammas on a resonating microwave cavity was determined by observing the change of the cavity Q. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that the Q of a gas filled cavity decreases when the device is exposed to ionizing radiation. Due to the error introduced by the applied measurement technique, it was not possible to make quantitative comparisons of the changes of Q for different dose rates. Possible alternate techniques of observing the effect of gamma radiation on a microwave cavity are discussed. (auth)
