Current saturation in free-air ionization chambers with chopped synchrotron radiation
Saturation curves for free-air ionization chambers with electrode gap widths of 4.2, 8.4 and 18 mm were obtained for 10 and 15 keV undulator synchrotron radiation thinned with a 230 Hz rotating-disk chopper. Ion recombination in free-air ionization chambers was found to be inversely proportional to the applied electric field, and an expression that satisfactorily reproduced the ion-recombinatio...
متن کاملAbsolute Air-kerma Measurement in a Synchrotron Radiation Beam by Ionization Free-air Chamber
A dosimetric procedure to assure the traceability to the air-kerma standard of the measurements performed in synchrotron radiation beams, was implemented at the “Istituto Nazionale di Metrologia delle Radiazioni Ionizzanti” of ENEA (INMRI-ENEA). To this purpose, absolute air-kerma measurements by the ENEA standard free-air chamber for low energy x-rays have been performed at the SYRMEP (SYnchro...
متن کاملMeasurement of Field Distortion in Free-Air Ionization Chambers
A two dimensional allaJog of a free-air ionization chamber for the measurement of fi eld distortion was obtained by painting conducting lines on resistance paper to represent cross sections of the electrodes. Guard wires were simulated by driving record p layer needles into the paper . The volume of the chamber from which charge was collected was related to the resistance between two of the lin...
متن کاملStandard calibration of ionization chambers used in radiation therapy dosimetry and evaluation of uncertainties
Background: Absolute dosimetry of external beam radiotherapy is carried out by the use of ionization chambers. These chambers must be calibrated at a standard dosimetry laboratory before any use in clinical dosimetry. The secondary standard dosimetry laboratory of Iran (SSDL) has the duty of calibrating the ionization chambers used in radiotherapy centers in Iran. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملIon recombination corrections of ionization chambers in flattening filter‐free photon radiation
The flattening filter free (FFF) X-rays can provide much higher dose rate at the treatment target compared to the conventional flattened X-rays. However, the substantial increase of dose rate for FFF beams may affect the ion recombination correction factor, which is required for accurate measurements using ionization chambers in clinical dosimetry. The purpose of this work is to investigate the...
