The absolute response of a thick-walled ionization chamber of the Cornell design was determined in the energy region 60 to 322 Mev. The determination is the result of intercomparisons with chambers calibrated absolutely at other laboratories, absolute calibration at two energies at this laboratory, and measurements of the relative energy dependence by pair- spectrometer and Cu ( gamma ,n)Cu activation methods. A plot of the results obtained is given and a comparison with the prediction of shower theory is made. (auth)
