Direct determination of kQ for Farmer-type ionization chambers in a clinical scanned carbon ion beam using water calorimetry
Until now, the dosimetry of carbon ions with ionization chambers has not reached the same level of accuracy as that of high-energy photons. This is mainly caused by the approximately threefold larger uncertainty of the kQ factor of ionization chambers, which, due to the lack of experimental data, is...
