A real time radiation monitor (RTRM(R)) has been developed for monitor
ing the dose rate (current density) of electron beam processors. The s
ystem provides continuous monitoring of processor output, electron bea
m uniformity, and an independent measure of operating voltage or elect
ron energy. In view of the device's ability to replace labor-intensive
dosimetry in verification of machine performance on a real-time basis
, its application to providing archival performance data for in-line p
rocessing is discussed.
