| description | An ionization chamber is provided for the detection of nuclear radiation. The chamber is a vessel which acts as a cathode wherein at least one anode is disposed within the chamber and off-set from a center axis of the chamber. The chamber can be made from variety of shapes but is cylindrical in the preferred embodiment. The device contains two anodes in the preferred embodiment which are both off-set from the center axis. One anode collects the free floating electrons which are produced in response to particle ionization and therefore has a collected charge applied thereto. The second anode has the charge induced by immobile ions. The induced charge is subtracted from the collected charge thereby providing an improved resolution for the ionization chamber which translates into a more accurate result. In the preferred embodiment, a pressurized noble gas, such as xenon, is used. In some special geometries of the chamber, one of the anodes becomes part of the cathode and the charge induced by immobile ions becomes negligibly low. Thus the subtraction of the induced charge is not required. |
