[Characteristics of diamond detectors of ionizing radiation].

The article describes a device for detecting ionizing irradiation on the basis of a diamond detector and gives its characteristics. It has been shown that the diamond detector device by its parameters is superior to a similar device based on the silicon detector and in a number of cases to the ionizing chamber device. It can therefore be used successfully in the systems measuring the dose-radiation field.

[Measurement of dose fields using different detectors].

The authors presented and analyzed the results of measurement of dose fields of photon and electron radiation using 3 types of detectors (ionization camera, Si detector and diamond detector), alternately switched on to the CADSCAN dose field analyzer. The results of a study of dose fields of inhibitory radiation at 18 MeV were indicative of the similarity of data obtained with the help of diamond and Si detectors and an ionization camera. Comparison of the results for electron radiation at 4, 17 and 20 MeV showed that data obtained with the diamond detector, coincided with absorbed dose distributions calculated on the basis of ionization measurements whereas dose accumulation values obtained with the help of the Si detector were very high.
