Abstract
We have conducted tests at the Fermilab Booster of ionization chambers to be used as monitors of the NuMI neutrino beamline. The chambers were exposed to proton fluxes of up to 10/sup 12/ particles/cm/sup 2//1.56 /spl mu/s. We studied potential space charge effects which could reduce signal collection from the chambers at large charged particle beam intensities.
