Before 0000051932 00000 n Ionization chambers are widely used in the nuclear industry as they provide an output that is proportional to radiation dose They find wide use in situations where a constant high dose rate is being measured as they have a greater operating lifetime than standard GeigerMller tubes, which suffer from gas break down and are generally limited to a life of about 1011 count events. The chamber of the integral instrument is generally at the front of the case facing downwards, and for beta/gamma instruments there is a window in the bottom of the casing. % However, this correction does not consider the thermal volume effect of chambers.

"Guard rings" are generally used as a design feature on higher voltage tubes to reduce leakage through or along the surface of tube connection insulators, which can require a resistance in the order of 1013.[6]. When gas atoms or molecules between the electrodes are ionized by incident ionizing radiation, ion-pairs are created and the resultant positive ions and dissociated electrons move to the electrodes of the opposite polarity under the influence of the electric field. Gamma radiation enters both through the end window and the side walls.
