A new graphite transmission chamber was developed for dosimetry. Its performance meets secondary standard ionization chamber expectations, ensuring accurate radiation measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Dosimetry
  • Applied Nuclear Physics

Background:

  • Accurate radiation dosimetry is critical for medical applications and research.
  • Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDLs) require reliable instrumentation for calibration and quality assurance.
  • Existing ionization chambers may have limitations in specific applications or environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and construct a novel pancake-type transmission ionization chamber.
  • To evaluate the performance characteristics of the newly developed chamber.
  • To assess its suitability as a secondary standard dosimetry instrument.

Main Methods:

  • A pancake-type transmission chamber was fabricated using high-purity graphite.
  • The chamber was designed to be open to the atmosphere.
