Pulsed beam monitoring for electron FLASH
Two novel detectors, HEC3 and S4, successfully measured electron-FLASH pulses and hence can be considered capable of electron-FLASH beam monitoring in different capacities. HEC3 detector technology is suitable for monitoring high-dose and UHDR beams with high temporal resolution required for pulse counting. We envision the combination of the HEC3 internal structure with the S4 piece-wise design for real-time monitoring of the temporal structure, spatial profiles, energy, and dosimetric properties of UHDR beams.
