Description

Abstract

The effect of gamma radiation on the reliable measurement of single voltage pulses of electron beam injectors into plasma during fusion experiments is considered in the manuscript. For this purpose, a 10 GHz fast voltage divider was constructed. The high-voltage capacitor was a gas condenser, and the low-voltage capacitor was a parallel connection of 10 mica capacitors. It turned out that the received radiation dose corrects the transmission ratio since it aligns the frequency characteristic of the mica in the area of spatial charge. This phenomenon has been explained from both a positive and a negative aspect with an effect on the concrete application. The need for further research on this problem was also pointed out to establish a saturation dose and thus obtain a constant frequency characteristic of the mica. The interest in the fast-divider behavior in the neutron field is also highlighted.
