Abstract

One of the most important methods for dosimetry of ionizing radiation is the use of laser holographic interferometry calorimeters. The temperature increase caused by ionizing radiation depends on the delivered energy, the specific heat capacity of the material, and the mass used as the phantom material in the calorimeter. Among the factors that significantly impact the accuracy of various nuclear radiation calorimeters is the phenomenon of heat transfer in the absorbing material, which forms the core of ionizing radiation interferometry calorimeters. This phenomenon directly affects the measurement of the absorbed dose. In this study, a model has been developed for post-processing the images captured by the camera system of the holographic interferometry calorimeter with a water core exposed to vertical and horizontal irradiation by electron and proton beams.
