POCKET-CHAMBER AND CHARGER-READER. Interim Development Report No. 37 for the Period January 1 to January 31, 1954

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4241506
The proposed increase in the length of the pocket chamber plus a change in the ionization chamber geometry proved successful in obtaining a 600-r chamber. Five pocket-chambers were assembled and subject to radiation tests. These tests showed that two chambers had a range of 600-r. The proposed increase in the voltage of the charger-reader voltmeter was not attempted due to the satisfactory results obtained. Since the fabrication of the parts for the developmental models of the charger-reader had not been completed, three voltmeter assemblies, using a roentgen scales were used in the preliminary model to determine the range of the newly assembled chambers. All of the voltmeters used gave similar results for particular chambers. (auth)
