Built-in JS functions were used to perform logarithmic and exponential operations. The tool's performance was validated against ion-chamber measurements from a thyroid phantom containing a pre-calibrated 131I capsule; moreover, measurement reliability was assessed.

This study reports a comparative evaluation of two ionization chambers with different geometries: the PTW 32002 (spherical, 1 L) and the PTW 23361 (cylindrical, 30 cm3). Both were employed to characterize 137Cs and 60Co reference radiation fields at the CNESTEN calibration laboratory. The experimental results were compared against a theoretical benchmark provided by Monte Carlo simulations using the MCNP6.1 code to perform a comparative study with the measured values. The aim was to verify the installation's compliance with the inverse square law and to assess the metrological suitability of the two detectors. The results showed overall agreement between experiment and simulation, with deviations ranging from ~0.2% to 10.5%, depending on photon energy and source-to-detector distance. The spherical PTW 32002 chamber demonstrated greater stability in 60Co beams, while the cylindrical PTW 23361 exhibited better accuracy in 137Cs fields.
