IONIZATION CHAMBERRadiation DetectorsSummaryIonization chambers are summarized below.Ionization Chamber SummaryWhen radiation enters an ionization chamber, the detector gas at the point ofincident radiation becomes ionized.Some of the electrons have sufficient energy to cause additional ionizations.The electrons are attracted to the electrode by the voltage potential set up on thedetector.If the voltage is set high enough, all of the electrons will reach the electrodebefore recombination takes place.Gamma sensitivity reduction is accomplished by either reducing the amount ofchamber gas or increasing the boron coated surface area.IC-06 Page 34 Rev. 0
