This mode of operation is referred to as "current" mode, meaning that the output signal is a continuous current, and not a pulse output as in the cases of the GeigerMller tube or the proportional counter. endstream endobj startxref 2008 Jan 22;9(1):70-86. doi: 10.1120/jacmp.v9i1.2676. Typically a pressure of 8-10 atmospheres can be used, and various noble gases are employed. In this study, we propose a methodology for temperature determination of the temperature and pressure correction factor, PTP, by analyzing the temperature distribution of the modeled ionization chamber taking into account the thermal effect of a water phantom on neighboring materials in the process. endobj %PDF-1.5 % Air kerma calibration factors and chamber correction values for PTW soft x-ray, NACP and Roos ionization chambers at very low x-ray energies. 1956 Feb;29(338):118-9 0000005011 00000 n endstream endobj 80 0 obj <>stream endstream endobj 79 0 obj <>stream \ [HB-y3+~sH:ytPK.dXf$|t\ [" .E@} ;'mC2+xJ2\yaY#)0$i When this capacitor is fully charged, any ionization within the thimble counteracts this charge, and the change in charge can be measured.

The temporal response was studied at approximately +/- 10 degrees C from room temperature, i.e., 10 degrees C and 30 degrees C. Temporal results show that all chambers reach quick equilibrium response within < 2 minutes of submersion in water.
