Evaluation of some dosimetric properties of a dedicated plane parallel ionization chamber for radiotherapy electron beams

Ionization chambers are the reference detectors for electron beam dosimetry. In this paper a dedicated radiotherapy plane parallel ionization chamber manufactured with low cost materials is presented for dosimetry in electron beams. The ionization chamber tested has a sensitive volume of 0.4 cm³, an...
