Abstract
In this work, the ion collection efficiency determined with different methods and ionization chambers have been compared and discussed. As expected, an increase of the electric field in the ionization chamber, either by applying a higher bias voltage or a reduction of the electrode distance, improves the ion collection efficiency and also reduces the polarity effect. For the Advanced Markus chamber, the experimental results obtained by comparison against a reference agree well with the numerical solution. Based on these results, it seems possible to keep the recombination loss less than or equal to 5% up to a dose-per-pulse of 3 Gy with an appropriately designed ionization chamber, which corresponds to the level accepted in conventional radiotherapy dosimetry protocols.
