The electron beam energy is one of the critical parameters of electron accelerators since it can affect the dose distribution inside the body or the product irradiated with the beam. An easy-to-use device has been developed for monitoring small variations in the electron beam energy during an irradiation run. It involves measurement of currents (or charges) collected by two identical aluminium plates, except for their thickness, and electrically insulated from each other, located in the beam. The ratio of these two currents (or collected charges) is quite sensitive to the beam energy; optimization of sensitivity is obtained by selecting the appropriate thickness of the front plate depending on the nominal beam energy. In this paper, we present the results of our investigation of using this energy device at energies from 4 to 10 MeV.
