accelerator monitoring
Whoops.
Missed the 'every few seconds'.
Still can do it with an ion chamber by you will
need smart, i.e., digital, logic to display
meaningful 'rate' results.
Alternatively you could simply display cumulative
data and use a total dose alarm.
The old Berkley BeVatron used an activation foil
viewed by a GM detector as a way of smoothing out
infrequent pulses. Wade Patterson watches this list
and can add more. For an electron acc at this energy
a similar technique might be used in areas where high
energy radiation must be monitored.
A little risk adds spice to life.
