Dosimetry Flashcards
1
Q
Name the range visible on graph
A
linear → recombination region
no slope → ionization chamber region
exponential → proportional chamber region\
saturated –> geiger-muller
2
Q
Find the equivalent dose rate
A
Convert last chamber current value (saturated) to amp
nA * 10^-9 = amplitude
Create another column for mass of air in chamber
volume of chamber * gas density
* convert cm^3 to m^3 forvolume
* answer in Kg
Create another column for exposure rate
equivalent dose rate / mass in air chamber
*answer in A/kg
Calculate equivalent dose rate
exposure rate* f0
* answer on Sv
