The material is selected to have an atomic number similar to that of air so that the wall is said to be "air equivalent" over a range of radiation beam energies. The detector also has a reference chamber which is sealed but is ionized in the same way. Monitor chambers are typically PPICs which are used to continuously measure such as a radiation beam's intensity. To overcome this a local converter module is often used to translate the very low ion chamber currents to a pulse train or data signal related to the incident radiation. 0000037298 00000 n 125 25 Thermal results show that all chambers expanded in response to heating except for the PTW, which contracted.
