Low and high energy pulsed electron beams were used to generate radiation -induced transient attenuation in high -OH, Suprasil core, PCS fibers, demonstrating the energy dependence of the radiation damage and recovery mechanisms.A radiation resistant low -OH fiber was studied and its performance contrasted to that of high -OH material.Several fibers with differing core compositions were also studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
