Development and characterization of a new graphite ionization chamber for dosimetry of 60Co beams

Ionization chambers are the most employed dosimeters for precise measurements, as those required in radiotherapy. In this work, a new graphite ionization chamber was developed and characterized in order to compose a primary standard system for the beam dosimetry of the 60Co sources. This dosimeter...
