A Review of Ionization Chambers Developed for Use at the Brazilian IPEN Calibration Laboratory

Abstract

Over the past 35 years, the Calibration Laboratory of IPEN (LCI) has seen significant advancements in the development of ionization chambers. This paper highlights the key contributions and achievements in this field. Numerous Master’s and PhD students at LCI/IPEN, under the guidance of Linda Caldas, have devoted their careers to advancing the science and education of medical physics. This review showcases some of their work, all of which was made possible through the initial efforts in dosimetry at the IPEN by Prof. Shigueo Watanabe.
