    Saturation corrections in ionization chambers vary. This study experimentally determined a unified formula for charge collection losses, combining volume recombination, initial recombination, and diffusion for beta particle irradiation.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Dosimetry

    Background:

    • Ionization chambers are crucial for radiation measurement.
    • Existing formulas for saturation corrections in ionization chambers show discrepancies.
    • Understanding charge collection losses is vital for accurate dosimetry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the discrepancies in saturation correction formulas for ionization chambers.
    • To experimentally determine a unified formula for saturation corrections under beta particle irradiation.
    • To elucidate the contributions of different charge collection loss mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental study of saturation curves using an extrapolation chamber.
    • Irradiation with beta particles from Strontium-90/Yttrium-90 (90Sr+90Y) sources.

  • Analysis of charge collection efficiency as a function of applied voltage.

    • Main Results:

    • Saturation curves were successfully described by a single, unified formula.
    • The formula integrates known models for volume recombination, initial recombination, and diffusion.
    • Experimental data validated the combined formula across the studied range.

    Conclusions:

    • A single, comprehensive formula can accurately describe saturation corrections in ionization chambers for beta emitters.
    • This unified approach resolves discrepancies arising from separate recombination and diffusion models.
    • The findings contribute to improved accuracy in radiation dosimetry using ionization chambers.
