Abstract
A self-powered detector (SPD) is a simple, passive device that consist s of a coaxial probe with a metallic outer sleeve, a mineral oxide ins ulating layer, and a metallic inner core. SPDs are used in nuclear rea ctors to monitor neutron and gamma fields. Responses of SPDs to electr ons and gamma-rays of various energies were investigated with Monte Ca rlo simulations. Transmission filters were studied for the design of t hreshold SPD probes used for on-line monitoring of the energy spectrum of high-power industrial electron accelerator beams. Filters were als o investigated for the enhancement of gamma-ray sensitivity of an SPD placed in a mixed electron and gamma-ray field.
