A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11860321B2) discloses a radiation latency measurement system designed for use within a particle accelerator. The system includes a pulse detector connected to a radiation detector mounted within a motion phantom positioned in the accelerator. The pulse detector sends a radiation dose signal to a control box or computer when the radiation detector receives the dose, allowing for the measurement of radiation dose latency by comparing the timing of the signal receipt to the position of the phantom's moving portion.

Furthermore, the system features a pulse detector with specific circuit configurations, including a high voltage bias application, voltage signal amplification, and signal processing stages. These components work together to ensure accurate measurement and analysis of radiation dose latency within the particle accelerator. The system's design also includes safety features such as voltage reduction circuits and offset adjustment capabilities for precise voltage level control. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated system for monitoring radiation dose latency in particle accelerators, crucial for ensuring accurate and safe radiation delivery in medical and scientific applications.
