Abstract
An X-ray spectrometer designed to monitor the bremastrahlung beam of the MIT linear accelerator has been designed and tested. This spectrometer measures the energy distribution of the photo protons from deuterium. The bremastrahlung spectrum is found by using the known cross section for the d( ,n)p reaction. The efficiency of the monitor is about 10-9 protons per photon which is sufficient to monitor some of the experiments planned for the linear accelerator.
