0 As the dose rate is varied, the calibration coefficient, temperature, pressure, humidity and electrometer correction factor are all constant, which means that the relative decrease in the signal from the transmission ionization chamber with increased DPP becomes a measure of the ion recombination at negative polarity. There is also a temperature correction chart below the calculator. the dose without the chamber. To overcome this a local converter module is often used to translate the very low ion chamber currents to a pulse train or data signal related to the incident radiation. 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. They are particularly preferred for high dose rate measurements and for gamma radiation they give good accuracy for energies above 50-100 keV.[1]. hj@_eX.bAWbdIPJKX@P3X@-$BP|XL 6[`NLI(JV6bZ$r=|)nFq.v.Z=c+{XbQ[hb4pkX$4|#_avR"XM?a.

Thermal results show that all chambers expanded in response to heating except for the PTW, which contracted.
