RESUMO

This work describes the construction and the validation tests of an electronic device able to measure the half value layer in diagnostic X-ray beams. The device utilizes a transducer assembled with three sensors using the photoluminescence of the organic scintillator anthracene. The light signal, proportional to the incident radiation, reaches three photo resistors that are part of the electronic acquisition circuitry and measurement register. Besides adequate features of sensitivity and energy response, it is expected that the assembled transducer present low cost compared to the conventional measurement devices. The results obtained with the characterized prototypes have shown their feasibility and encouraged their use in field services
