Polarity effect and saturation curves of plane-parallel plate ionization chambers

  • 1. Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares (IPEN), Sao Paulo, SP (Brazil). Dept. de Protecao Radiologica e Dosimetria

Description

The polarity effect was studied in the case of the plane-parallel ionization chambers manufactured at IPEN. The saturation curves were obtained applying voltages between -300 and +300 V. The ionization chambers were submitted to standard low-energy X-radiation fields (from 25 to 50 kV), in air, positioned at the calibration distance of 50 cm. (author)
