Abstract
Some radiation detectors, using Cerenkov radiator or plastic scintilla tor, operatre at very high dose rates. The accumulated dose greatly af fects their performance. In fast and high gamma pulse environments, de tector linearity is of great concern. In this paper we give some resul ts that show the discrepancy which occurs when the transient radiation -induced attenuation is too high. We also give a model that can be use d to determine maximum dose values for gamma pulse measurements and to correct spoiled data.
