PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY IN CDS CRYSTALS AS A MECHANISM FOR GAMMA RAY DOSIMETRY

Abstract

Gamma ray induce changes in the conductivity of CdS crystals are studied as a possible mechanism for monitoring gamma dose rates. Data are presented on the change in conductivity due to gamma exposure over a range of 140,000 ergs/g hr ttoo 55 xx 1100 ttoo tthhee 77tthh ppoowweerr eerrggss//gg hhrr (C)).. TT hh ee
