Correction factors for free−air ionization chambers for X−rays transmitted through a diaphragm edge and scattered from the surface of the diaphragm aperture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Correction factors for the contribution of X-rays transmitted through the diaphragm of a free-air ionization chamber and those scattered from the surface of the diagram aperture are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation for two free-air ionization chambers for various diaphragm aperture sizes, X-ray energies, and source to chamber distances. The dependences of these contributions on conditions are specified.

The effect of scattered photons for x-ray air-kerma calibrations
The parallel-plate free-air ionization chambers are used for X-rays air-kerma rate standards at National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The diaphragms are used to free-air chambers to fix the air volume of ionizing region in chambers. It means that absolute air-kerma rates are defined for collimated x-ray beams, beca...
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...

In this paper, a novel single-chip MEMS capacitive microphone is presented. The novelties of this method relies on the moveable aluminum (Al) diaphragm positioned over the backplate electrode, where the diaphragm includes a plurality of holes to allow the air in the gap between the electrode and diaphragm to escape and thus reduce acoustical damping in the microphone. Spin-on-glass (SOG) was us...
