IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO PORTABLE DOSIMETERS
A description is given of a portable dosimeter incorperating a fiber electrometer co-operating with a deflection electrode within an ionization chamber. The ionization chamber and the deflection electrode are constructed of a material of a lower atomic number than air and the fiber is mounted on support means of higher atomic number than air. The portion of the support means actually exposed to the air of the ionization chamber is restricted and arranged to enable its adverse effect to be compensated by the material of lower atomic number. The ionization rate per unit volume of the air within the ionization chamber is approximately equal to that of free air exposed to radiation of the same quality and intensity. (N.W.R.)
