Method and apparatus for detecting high-energy radiation using a pulse mode ion chamber

摘要

A method for measuring high-energy radiation flux includes applying a positive voltage to electrodes in an ion chamber filled with a gas capable of forming charged ions by a high-energy radiation, measuring a positive ion current signal related to ion currents induced by the positive voltage, applying a negative voltage to the electrodes, measuring a negative signal related to ion currents induced by the negative voltage, and determining a magnitude of the high-energy radiation flux based on the ion current signal.
