✦ Synopsis

The performance of an extrapolation chamber was evaluated in ~ radiation fields. The main characteristics such as calibration factors, energy and angular dependence, transmission factors in tissue and source detector distance dependence have been determined. The influence of the collecting electrode area on the calibration factors was also investigated.
