Quantification of the temperature equilibrium time of the cavity in parallel-plate-type ionization chambers by thermal analysis

Temperature corrections are necessary to account for the varying mass of air in the cavity volume of a vented ionization chamber. The temporal response resulting from temperature changes in a cylindrical and/or Farmer-type ionization chamber, which is the standard dosimeter, has been thoroughly discussed by some researchers. The purpose of this study was to characterise and analyse the dependence ...
