Abstract
In general, Cerenkov light is produced by a charged particle that passes through a medium with a velocity greater than that of visible light. Although the wavelength of Cerenkov light is very broad, the peak is in the almost visible range from 400 to 480nm. Therefore, it always causes a problem to detect a real light signal that is generated in the scintillator on the fiber-optic sensor tip for dose measurements of high-energy electron beam. The objectives of this study are to measure, characterize and remove Cerenkov light generated in a fiber-optic radiation sensor tip to detect a real light signal from the scintillator. In this study, the intensity of Cerenkov light is measured and characterized as a function of incident angle of electron beam from a LINAC, and as a function of the energy of electron beam. As a measuring device, a photodiode-amplifier system is used, and a subtraction method using a background optical fiber is investigated to remove Cerenkov light.
