Preparation of Ultrapure Water and Preirradiation of Calorimetric Core for Proton Beam Based on Thermistor

Abstract

A water calorimeter based on thermistor is developed in this paper, and for the correction of chemical thermal defects in the absolute measurement of absorbed dose to water from proton beam, the design of gas saturated ultrapure water system is completed. By filling the ultrapure water inside the calorimeter core with high purity gas to form saturation condition, the effect of radiation chemical reaction is minimized. And the irradiation reaction of O2 in the ultrapure water is fully occurred through pre-irradiation experiment after the encapsulation of the calorimeter core, so that the water environment inside reaches a stable state without heat loss,which successfully developed a stable zero heat loss water calorimeter and the influence of heat loss on the absolute measurement of absorbed dose to water is minimized, which provides an important basis for the subsequent absolute measurement of absorbed dose to water.
