Measurement of the response-ratio of an ionization chamber filled with dry air to that filled with P-10 gas in the calibration of gas monitors

摘要

We developed a new method to determine the response ratio of an ionization chamber (Ohkura ionization chamber: type I-4096 01/06) filled with dry air to that filled with P-10 gas. The response-ratio was obtained by comparing the output currents of the ionization chamber after introduction of radioactive gasses of identical activities contained in two small vessels. The obtained ratio was 0.690 +/- 0.003, which agreed with the results obtained by other methods.
