In this paper, the authors present the experimental validation of the wide signal measurement range (>100) of a high sensitivity gateable camera based on a Multi Step Parallel Plate Avalanche Chamber for MeV Pulsed Radiography applications. The MSPPAC was tested with a metallic converter. Thus, they have demonstrated that the Multi Step Parallel Plate Avalanche Chamber (atmospheric pressure) is a potentially high-performance imager, even for the high hard X-ray dose rates used in radiography and radiotherapy.
