STANDARDIZATION OF IONIZATION CHAMBERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4159478

the standardization of ionization chambers which were employed in measuring cosmic radiation is described. Measurement of the charge per pulse is discussed relative to calibration of the electrometer amplifier and the condenser. Calibration of the condenser by the pulse jump, pulse decay, and constant current methods is described. Calibration of a continuous current chamber is described. Calibration of the chambers to a normalized charge/pulse and for a normalized ionization rate is discussed. (C.J.G.)
