For low-energy beta sources of 0.25 to 0.50 MeV, the normalized PTP-corrected chamber response is as much as 4% to 12% over unity for air densities/pressures corresponding to an elevation of 3048 m (10000 ft) above sea level. <]>> These chambers have a cylindrical body made of aluminium or plastic a few millimetres thick. Med Phys. The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). [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. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. To improve detection efficiency, they are filled with a noble gas because the highly electronegative oxygen in air easily captures free electrons, forming negative ions.

PMC %PDF-1.5 % the dose without the chamber. In these applications only the chamber is situated in the measurement area, and the electronics are remotely situated to protect them from radiation and connected by a cable. Thus, the calibration factor of the ionization chamber is normalized to a standard temperature and pressure, which is usually 101.3 kPa (760 mm Hg) for 198 Larry A. DeWerd et al. Select all ion chamber correction factors. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. They are only practical for beams with energy of 2 MeV or less, and high stem leakage makes them unsuited to precise dosimetry.
