This paper describes a method of measuring energy of electrons from accelerators. An electyon beam with a certain energy bombarding a set of stacked pieces of cover glass
will cause some of them to change color. The range of electrons in glass can be obtained. With the Berger’s table for the ranges of electrons in silicon and with the linear interpolation the electron energy can be determined. Finally
an E-Vr curve (electron energy E versus the corresponding reading Vr of the rotary voltage meter) is established. A nuclear reaction method has been used for the energy calibration. The relative deviation is about 1.5%. Having advantages of simplicity
easiness and good accuracy
this method is quite well for measuring electron energy.
