A High-Range Solid-State Radiacmeter with Digital Display.

Abstract

A high-range radiacmeter using a solid-state detector and a digital readout has been designed and constructed. The detector is an inexpensive silicon diode of area 0.8 square millimeters developed for use as a photodiode. The instrument is capable of measuring dose rates from 0.1 to 999 rad/h, readout being provided by a three-digit LED display with automatic range switching. (Author)
