Description/Abstract:
A DISCUSSION OF CAVITY CHAMBER THEORY WHICH INDICATES THAT THE ION CURRENT PER UNIT MASS OF GAS IN SMALL ION CHAMBERS OF GIVEN COMPN BUT VARIABLE SIZE SHOULD APPROACH LINEARLY THE VALUE CALCD FROM THE USUAL BRAGG-GRAY THEORY, AS THE CHAMBER IS MADE SMALLER. SUPERIMPOSED ON THE LINEAR APPROACH WILL BE A DEVIATION DUE TO THE DELTA RAY EFFECT.
