THE MEASUREMENT OF THE ELECTRON ENERGY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE AN ION PAIR IN VARIOUS GASES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4063335
Measurements were made of the energy required to produce an ion pair in air. The results were: using Co/sup 6//sup 0/ gamma rays, 33.3 plus or minus 0.8 ev/ip; using tritium beta particles, 35.2 plus or minus 1.8 ev/ip. The increase of W(Air) with increasing energy predicted by Wang and Bethe was not found. Tables of previous work by other authors are included. A summary is given including a "best" value of the energy to produce an ion pair in 43 different gases, for electrons, alpha particles, and protons. (auth)
