Only different degree in CPE & spectral effects considered

The corrections for mini-ionization chambers

used in this study (active volume between

0.015 cm

3

and 0.05 cm

3

) were generally lower

than

10%

and

for micro-chambers (active volume<0.015 cm

3

)

lower than

3%

.

active volume > 0.1 cm

3

corrections of 20%-30% !

These result confirm previous conclusions

that unshielded diodes a better choice of

detector than shielded diodes.

Small field detector correction factors
