Abstract:
A low energy radiation dosimetry system includes an ionization chamber with a beryllium window that is optimized for flat response in the range of 6. 5 keV to 40 keV. A conductive carbon coating including lithium and fluorine provides secondary electron emissions to flatten response of the beryllium window in the desired radiation energy range without the use of external mathmetical correction factors.
