A method for measuring a dose of irradiation with a beam of ionizing
radiation capable of creating Cherenkov radiation, in which a
scintillator for emitting scintillation light, whose intensity is a
function of the dose of this beam irradiating this scintillator, is
arranged below this beam, the scintillator is coupled, via an optical
fiber, to a device for measuring the light emitted by the scintillator,
and the quantity of light transmitted by the optical fiber is measured,
is described. The light emerging from the opposite end of the optical
fiber is filtered using two bandpass filters having cutoff bands in
different parts of the spectrum, the intensity of the light coming from
these two filters is measured a plurality of times, and the pluralities
of quantities of scintillation light and Cherenkov radiation are
calculated on the basis of these measurements to deduce a first
irradiation dose value.
