An Investigation of Solid State Preamplifier-Detection Design for the BNL 200 MeV Linac Radiation System
The system being implemented consists essentially of icnization chambers, containing argon methane gas, which are located along the Linac tunnel. These ionization chambers will serve as the transducers for the analog/digital processor. The analog/digital processor will serve to monitor the small losses encountered during normal operation yet still possesses the dynamic range to detect high rapid losses for eventual shutdown.
