Invisible hygroscopic moisture on the surface of cable dielectrics and connectors can be sufficient to cause a leakage current which will swamp any radiation-induced ion current. It has a good uniform response to radiation over a wide range of energies and is the preferred means of measuring high levels of gamma radiation, such as in a radiation hot cell as they can tolerate prolonged periods in high radiation fields without degradation. Castro P, Garca-Vicente F, Mnguez C, Floriano A, Sevillano D, Prez L, Torres JJ. h2P0PwV072=JJSCR+ Early versions of the ion chamber were used by Marie and Pierre Curie in their original work in isolating radioactive materials.

These laboratory conditions may change between SSDLs, one might have did the calibration with temperature as 20 and other might have done with 21 , so always its a best practice to refer calibration certificate for reference temperature and pressure. The response varied within +/-1.5% between 10 degrees C-50 degrees C temperature and is mainly dependent on volume changes rather than the humidity. \ [HB-y3+~sH:ytPK.dXf$|t\ [" .E@} ;'mC2+xJ2\yaY#)0$i 0000006992 00000 n 2014 Nov;41(11):111701. doi: 10.1118/1.4893915.

The domestic smoke detector is a good example of this, where a natural flow of air through the chamber is necessary so that smoke particles can be detected by the change in ion current. The atmospheric reference conditions in Equation 2 is temperature of 20C The material is selected to have an atomic number similar to that of air so that the wall is said to be "air equivalent" over a range of radiation beam energies. 0000001603 00000 n Temperature and pressure. z7-MciI,=d3rS9W"-OYlQLtp76DD F 0000051932 00000 n Candela-Juan C, Vijande J, Garca-Martnez T, Niatsetski Y, Nauta G, Schuurman J, Ouhib Z, Ballester F, Perez-Calatayud J.

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.
