A neutron dosimetry intercomparison study with tissue equivalent ionization chambers: National Accelerator Centre and Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium

Creators

Description

The results of a neutron dosimetry intercomparison study undertaken at the Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium are reported. The results show excellent agreement between the different tissue equivalent ionization chambers used. The photon calibration factors measured differ from those previously determined by a maximum of 0.14%. For the measurement of total dose in a p(65 MeV)/Be(35 MeV) neutron therapy beam the maximum deviation from the measured mean is 0.48% for all conditions. For the NAC chamber used the photon calibration differed by 0.11% from the measurement made at NAC, while the average deviation from the mean for the neutron beam measurements was 0.10%
