You'll get a detailed solution from a subject matter expert that helps you learn core concepts. To eliminate dosimetric error, the temporal and thermal response should be known for a chamber or water phantom temperature should be maintained close to room temperature. [2] This is to stop moisture building up in the interior of the chamber, which would otherwise be introduced by the "pump" effect of changing atmospheric air pressure.

[1], Referring to the accompanying ion-pair collection graph, it can be seen that in the ion chamber operating region the charge of a collected ion pair is effectively constant over a range of applied voltage, as due to its relatively low electric field strength the ion chamber does not have any multiplication effect.

The operator closes the shield to exclude beta, and can thereby calculate the rate of each radiation type. Ionization chambers are widely used in the nuclear industry as they provide an output that is proportional to radiation dose They find wide use in situations where a constant high dose rate is being measured as they have a greater operating lifetime than standard GeigerMller tubes, which suffer from gas break down and are generally limited to a life of about 1011 count events. %PDF-1.5 % X09y&00p2A^;#wGo)-r'QB5( f8jq4 t+=/4GY8L`j,a`Zq*E[ #K2@Z1zN 1u D! government site. hdA0wCM6bPD:$-"gj7uK#bP00vu~FPP$*1la`%!w#]5lG92^3ier)!^% l8 Multi-cavity ionization chambers can measure the intensity of the radiation beam in several different regions, providing beam symmetry and flatness information. hTmk0+2vfkaB75!qww'M/#\;s2.

[1], The electric field has to be sufficiently strong to prevent the recombination of ion pairs which would diminish the ion current, and build-up of positive ions is prevented by their recombination with electrons when they reach the cathode. They are particularly preferred for high dose rate measurements and for gamma radiation they give good accuracy for energies above 50-100 keV.[1]. Phys Med Biol.
