Consideration on calibration and correction factors of an HP(10) chamber for different radiation qualities and angles of incidence

This paper presents the characterisation performed at IRSN (France) of an Hp(10) chamber in terms of calibration coefficient and correction factors for the radiation qualities of ISO narrow spectrum series. The chamber response, expressed in Hp(10) using conversion coefficients hpK(10; N, α) listed...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the characterisation performed at IRSN (France) of an Hp(10) chamber in terms of calibration coefficient and correction factors for the radiation qualities of ISO narrow spectrum series. The chamber response, expressed in Hp(10) using conversion coefficients hpK(10; N, α) listed in ISO 4037-3 in the energy range from 30 to 1250 keV and for angles of incidence between 0 and 70°, was found to be within ∼10%. However, for photon energies
