"Ionization smoke detectors". Comparison and uncertainty evaluation of different calibration protocols and ionization chambers for low-energy surface brachytherapy dosimetry. Measurements were done after heating the water with a suitable heating system, and chambers were submerged for a sufficient time to allow for temperature equilibrium. This means individual ionising events cannot be measured, so the energy of different types of radiation radiation cannot be differentiated, but it gives a very good measurement of overall ionising effect. 0000000936 00000 n 4 0 obj

[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. The detector also has a reference chamber which is sealed but is ionized in the same way. [5], The efficiency of the chamber can be further increased by the use of a high-pressure gas. [2] Because of the very low currents generated, any stray leakage current must be kept to a minimum in order to preserve accuracy.
