Abstract :
Bremsstrahlung gamma radiation and photoneutrons are predominantly produced during the operation of high-energy electron linear accelerators. Therefore, generated radiation could cause radiation damage of electronic devices installed in the accelerator tunnel. A real-time radiation monitoring system RadMon has been designed to monitor both types of radiation at crucial spots inside a free electron laser FLASH. Several different versions of readout systems were designed and tested to choose the most suitable architecture for the cost-effective readout of the radiation monitoring system RadMon.
