Researching the possibility to use Fricke dosimeter for measurement of absorbed dose generated by pulse electron beam

Abstract

The focus of this article is the working range of Fricke dosimeter and modified Fricke dosimeter. This study is motivated by two research questions: (1) Is it possible to use Fricke dosimeter or modified Fricke dosimeter as an instrument for dose measurements when absorbed dose is generated by pulse electron beam? (2) What limitations do these methods have? This article tells in detail about the solutions preparing and chemical analyses. It shows that modified Fricke dosimeter may be used for measurements of absorbed dose generated by pulse electron beam up to 11 kGy. And Fricke dosimeter leads to incorrect results when local dose in solution upper than 500 Gy.
