摘要
Polarity and ion recombination correction factors for the NACP (type-02) design parallel-plate ionization chamber employed in a recent UK national electron beam dosimetry intercomparison are derived over the full range of energies and measurement conditions encountered. In addition, these effects have been studied for a further four NACP chambers, a Markus parallel-plate chamber, a Roos parallel-plate chamber and a NE2571 graphite walled cylindrical ionization chamber.
