Abstract
A novel photon flux monitor has been designed and tested for use at the Duke University High Intensity Gamma Source. The five-scintillator-paddle system detects recoil electrons and positrons from photoelectric, Compton and pair-production processes. It is designed to be insensitive to gain and detector threshold changes and is usable for photon energies above 5Â MeV. It has been calibrated using direct counting with a NaI detector, and its efficiency has been shown to be well described by a GEANT4 simulation.
