Mechanical hardware has been developed that remotely places
integrated circuits, transistors, and other fixed components
into an electron beam in a manner which allows measurements of--
radiation effects. The associated circuitry used for these
measurements is presented, as well as the methods employed in
reducing RF noise. A technique which uses a set of cross hairs
to give time and spatial beam profiles which aid linear accelerator
tuning and beam manipulation is described. Initial transient
radiation effects experiments have been conducted and photo currents
observed. Schematics, pictures, and construction details of the
apparatus are presented.
