Funding: US Dept. of Energy PIN diode detectors are a useful diagnostic tool for accelerator operations. The DARHT II electron beam accelerator utilizes an array of 12 PIN diodes to detect the location of high voltage column electron emissions during abnormal injector events. The PIN diodes are located outside the injector vacuum vessel and detect the x-rays that are produced when the -2MeV column electrons strike the vacuum vessel wall. This paper describes the PIN diode selection, calibration and use on the accelerator. |
