Improved free-air ionization chamber for the measurement of x-rays

Abstract: Based on an original design by F. H. Attix, an improved free-air ionization chamber was constructed at the National Radiation Standard Laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER, Taiwan), as the primary standard for x-rays generated at energy levels between 50 keV and 300 keV. Various improvements were made to the Attix design, including modifications of the chamber structure and the measurement technique. The changes include: (i) a three-section design with fixed central cylinder; (ii) thick… Show more

“…The main advantage of the variable-length cylindrical chamber is that the length l that enters in the determination of the air mass is directly related to the cylinder movement and does not depend on the homogeneity of the electric field. Chambers of this type have been implemented as the primary standard for medium-energy x-rays in Italy [58] and in Taiwan [61] and for mammography x-rays in the USA [59,60].…”

“…Para a determinação absoluta da taxa de kerma no ar é necessária a determinação de uma série de fatores de correção. Os fatores de correção a serem aplicados à resposta das câmaras de ionização de ar livre utilizadas como padrões primários, de acordo com os laboratórios internacionais de maior exatidão são [CHEN et al, 1999;BOUTILLON et al, 2001 , 2009], onde a medição ( 1 ) é obtida numa posição do volume sensível e a segunda medição…”

“…Adaptação de[LIMA, 2014].A diferença principal em relação ao modelo convencional é que na câmara cilíndrica é possível variar o comprimento do volume sensível. As suas principais vantagens em relação ao modelo convencional são[CHEN et al, 1999]: 1. Independência da resposta com a uniformidade do campo elétrico no interior do volume sensível, eliminando a necessidade de anéis de guarda; 2.…”
