GAMMA SCANNING OF SATAR SATELLITE WL-412.
Abstract
The gamma probe technique developed by UNC has been used to determine the areal electron density distribution about detector positions for Tissue Equivalent Ion Chambers (T.E.I.C.) and Linear Energy Transfer detectors (L.E.T) in the SATAR Satellite WL-412. The results of the survey have been used to calculate a proton dose of 2.3 X 10 to the minus 7th power rad/unit flux at detector position No. 4, produced by the Vette (f sub 1 V) proton spectrum. The results for the remainder of the points (in the form of tables of solid angle as a function of areal electron density) and the proton dose calculational technique are supplied in order that the dose calculation may be performed for other points if desired. The detailed electron density distributions and corresponding solid angle tables in the form of computer printouts are transmitted under separate cover. (Author)
