The temporal response was studied at approximately +/- 10 degrees C from room temperature, i.e., 10 degrees C and 30 degrees C. Temporal results show that all chambers reach quick equilibrium response within < 2 minutes of submersion in water. This means individual ionising events cannot be measured, so the energy of different types of radiation radiation cannot be differentiated, but it gives a very good measurement of overall ionising effect. The detector also has a reference chamber which is sealed but is ionized in the same way. It has a good uniform response to radiation over a wide range of energies and is the preferred means of measuring high levels of gamma radiation, such as in a radiation hot cell as they can tolerate prolonged periods in high radiation fields without degradation. endstream endobj 80 0 obj <>stream Study of the uncertainty in the determination of the absorbed dose to water during external beam radiotherapy calibration. 2004 Mar;31(3):573-8. doi: 10.1118/1.1644520. @ # endobj X09y&00p2A^;#wGo)-r'QB5( f8jq4 t+=/4GY8L`j,a`Zq*E[ #K2@Z1zN 1u D!
