NIST 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 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 کاملAn ionization chamber for fission fragment analysis
Fission fragments play a pivotal role in understanding the entire nuclear fission process, and their effects are widespread to all applications involving nuclear fission: reactor design and maintenance, waste removal, active and passive integration of nuclear materials, simulations, and the fundamental theories of fission. Currently, experimental data on the characteristic properties of fission...
متن کاملThe calibration of the 'Fingerhut' ionization chamber
The use of the "thimble" ionization chamber (Fingerhutkammer) has in the past been the only method for comparing the primary X-ray standards of different laboratories, hence the precise calibration of two thimble chambers is discussed in this paper. Five principal factors determine the accuracy of such a calibration, and it is shown that the errors are all, in general, in the same direction. It...
متن کاملWireless channel characterization of the reverberation chamber at NIST
This study is to show that a reverberation chamber can be used as a controlled facility for evaluating over-the-air performance of wireless devices in a Rayleigh and Rician fading environment. A reverberation chamber is a metallic cavity that is stirred to emulate a Rayleigh fading environment. Frequency domain techniques have been used to study and characterize the wireless channel in the cham...
