Disclaimer. For industrial applications with remote electronics, the ion chamber is housed in a separate enclosure which provides mechanical protection and contains a desiccant to remove moisture which could affect the termination resistance. When gas atoms or molecules between the electrodes are ionized by incident ionizing radiation, ion-pairs are created and the resultant positive ions and dissociated electrons move to the electrodes of the opposite polarity under the influence of the electric field. 0000009999 00000 n Sure, you could build a pressure chamber that works like that. 368 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<111F2F15A8079946A1281B700352E333>]/Index[360 15]/Info 359 0 R/Length 56/Prev 166903/Root 361 0 R/Size 375/Type/XRef/W[1 2 1]>>stream The wall thickness is a trade-off between maintaining the air effect with a thicker wall, and increasing sensitivity by using a thinner wall.

This requires scrupulous cleaning of the chamber, its terminations and cables, and subsequent drying in an oven. These chambers also have the advantage of not requiring a vent and desiccant. The upper disc is extremely thin, allowing for much more accurate near-surface dose measurements than are possible with a cylindrical chamber. The devices used for radiotherapy are called "reference dosimeters", while those used for radiopharmaceuticals are called radioisotope dose calibrators - an inexact name for radionuclide radioactivity calibrators, which are used for measurement of radioactivity but not absorbed dose. Ion chambers are widely used in hand held radiation survey meters to measure beta and gamma radiation. %PDF-1.6 % This usually has a sliding shield which enables discrimination between gamma and beta radiation.
