A SENSITIVE POCKET DOSIMETER READER

Journal Article · · Health Physics (England)

A modified Townsend balance circuit was used to measure the dischsrge of pocket ionization chambers. The reader consists of a vibrating reed electrometer, a recorder, and a stable voltage supply. This system has good sensitivity and excellent linearity. Also, because of negative feedback, the reader is nearly independent of the capacity of ion chambers that have the same volumes and that are made of the same materials. The discharge of a chamber with a volume of 5 cm/sup 3/ exposed to 1 mr of radiation can be reproduced to plus or minus 1.5%. (auth)
