Photo Conductivity of Liquid Tetramethylsilane
Very few investigations have been carried out so far on the direct photo ionization of non-polar liquids. Vermeil et al. [1] detected an increase of conductivity in some liquid hydrocarbons when subjected to the light of rare gas resonance lamps. Recently similar experiments were performed by Casanovas and co-workers at the University of Toulouse [2, 3]. It was estimated that the ionization thr...
متن کاملEvaluation of dosimetry a performance parameter for a homemade farmer-type ionization chamber according to IEC60731
Introduction: Due to its simplicity, fast response and high reliability, ion chamber detectors are one of the most suitable dosimetry instruments for X and gamma rays. The dosimeter of photon beams, which used in radiotherapy centers, requires high accuracy and should pass requirements of IEC 60731 standards. About 80 percent of the IEC 60731 standard tests such as stabil...
متن کاملPerformance of a Large Area Avalanche Photodiode in a Liquid Xenon Ionization and Scintillation Chamber
Scintillation light produced in liquid xenon (LXe) by alpha particles, electrons and gamma-rays was detected with a large area avalanche photodiode (LAAPD) immersed in the liquid. The alpha scintillation yield was measured as a function of applied electric field. We estimate the quantum efficiency of the LAAPD to be 45%. The best energy resolution from the light measurement at zero electric fie...
متن کاملNIST Ionization Chamber “A” Sample-Height Corrections
For over 30 years scientists in the NIST radioactivity group have been using their pressurized ionization chamber "A" (PIC "A") to make measurements of radioactivity and radioactive half-lives. We now have evidence that some of those reported measurements were incorrect due to slippage of the source positioning ring over time. The temporal change in the holder caused an error in the source-heig...
متن کاملFirst tests of a liquid ionization chamber to monitor intensity modulated radiation beams.
First measurements with a prototype ionization chamber are described to be applied in online monitoring of modulated fields in radiation therapy. The liquids isooctane, isononane (TMP) and tetramethylsilane (TMS) are used in a high purity grade in order to realize high current signals for electronic read-out in parallel at frequencies exceeding 10 Hz. Signals of more than a factor 4 with respec...
