Research of X-ray induced conductivity of ZnSe sensors for their   application in isotopic thickness gauges
  Measurements of intrinsic conductivity and X-ray induced conductivity were performed on specially undopped ZnSe samples. The measurements demonstrated that sensors made of ZnSe have minor intrinsic conductivity when heating up to the temperature of 180 {\deg}C, and significant X-ray induced conductivity. Dose dependence "dose rate - current" is described with simple power function which considerably simplifies calibration of sensors. This results can be used during the designing of high-temperature X-ray and gamma-radiation detectors for radiation hot rolling thickness gauges which are widely used in the metallurgy.
