Equipment for beam current and electron energy monitoring during industry irradiation

The electron beam irradiation sterilization is placed first among all types of medical items sterilization. The quality of sterilization is determined by value of dose, which is in one's turn determined by beam current, electron energy and beam scanning system parameters. Therefore these parameters have to be controlled during the irradiation process. The equipment for beam current and electron energy monitoring allows to control beam current, electron energy spectrum and nominal deflection of electron beam when scanning during the irradiation process each scanning period or, for example, each tenth scanning period by request. The equipment consists of induction beam current sensor with registration equipment and two grounded electron collectors. The simplicity of this equipment allows to use it for irradiation quality monitoring practically in all electron beam irradiation technology processes.
