Description

A new technique was studied and developed to aim at precise determination of W-values of various gases using unit litter ionization chambers and tritium, which emits low energy β-ray. What was studied and developed: (1) Ionization chamber and measuring gases filling system were designed and constructed. Characteristics of the ionization chambers were observed. (2) Wall effect was examined. (3) Effects of hydrogen as impurity on the ionization current were examined. (4) The W-values of 1Hz, 1Hz, 3He, 4He, N2 and Ar were respectively estimated. (author)
