Tóm tắt

An ionization chamber with an operating supply voltage of 10 V has been designed for use at the ITER. The sensitivity of the chamber filled with air at atmospheric pressure is 100–200 times higher than the sensitivity of the chamber pumped down to a pressure of 10−3–10−4 Torr. It is shown that application of the supply voltage modulation technique allows the pickup noise to be substantially reduced; as a result, the amplifier can be located at a large (70–100 m) distance from the chamber. Results of the experiments aimed at testing this technique on the T-10 facility are described.
