Smith, A R

Radiation survey work at the Berkeley Bevatron has been a continuous project of the Health Physics Group since start-up of the accelerator in November 1954. A substantial body of survey data has accummulated, from which a general pattern for the stray radiation field can be constructed. This report includes a summary of the characteristics of the radiation field pattern as currently understood, a description of the various techniques used to make radiation measurements, and a discussion of some serious problems encountered in survey work at the accelerator.
