[9] A chamber will have a calibration factor established by a national standards laboratory such as ARPANSA in Australia or the NPL in the UK, or will have a factor determined by comparison against a transfer standard chamber traceable to national standards at the user's site.[4][10]. When gas atoms or molecules between the electrodes are ionized by incident ionizing radiation, ion-pairs are created and the resultant positive ions and dissociated electrons move to the electrodes of the opposite polarity under the influence of the electric field. Because of the increased wall thickness required to withstand this high pressure, only gamma radiation can be detected. The temporal and thermal volume effects of various chambers (CC01, CC13, NACP parallel-plate, PTW) with different wall and electrode materials have been studied in a water phantom. % To compensate this , the temperature-pressure correction factor (K TP) was introduced Po and To are reference values of pressure (KPa) and temperature () according to SSDL. endobj atknowntemperature(ic)andpressure{pc)givesascaledeflection of6 C) it wouldon receivingthe same number of Rontgens at some othertemperature (t w ) and pressure (pw ) giveanother deflection (0^) In this study, the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code was used to investigate the validity of the P TP correc-tion factor for kilovoltage x rays incident on various geometrically distinct ion chambers. 0000009966 00000 n For now, we correct M as follows: M =Mraw P,t p Ph Ppol-- Note that the temperature and pressure correction is as you would expect: () 760 295 .15 273 .15 ( ), p torr torr K K T C P o t p + = 75 0 obj <>stream 0000037298 00000 n government site.
