Replacement correction factors for electron measurements with a parallel-plate chamber. 1987

H Casson, and J P Kiley

The AAPM Task Group dosimetry protocol is ambiguous regarding the replacement correction factors Prepl to be applied to electron measurements with parallel-plate chambers. By intercomparison with a cylindrical chamber whose Prepl values at dmax may be calculated from Task Group 21, the Prepl values for a PTW/Markus parallel-plate chamber have been determined in the range of mean incident energies of 5-11 MeV. The Prepl values for this chamber are found to differ significantly from unity, if one assumes that the cylindrical chamber values are valid.

D004583 Electrons Stable elementary particles having the smallest known negative charge, present in all elements; also called negatrons. Positively charged electrons are called positrons. The numbers, energies and arrangement of electrons around atomic nuclei determine the chemical identities of elements. Beams of electrons are called CATHODE RAYS.
