This study investigates the perturbation correction factors of air-filled ionization chambers regarding their depth and magnetic field dependence. Focus has been placed on the displacement or gradient correction factorPgr.Additionally, the shift of the effective point of measurementPeffthat can be applied to account for the gradient effect has been compared between the cases with and without magnetic field.

The aim of the present work is to investigate the behavior of two diode-type detectors (PTW microDiamond 60019 and PTW microSilicon 60023) in transverse magnetic field under small field conditions. A formalism based on TRS 483 has been proposed serving as the framework for the application of these high-resolution detectors under these conditions. Measurements were performed at the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB, Braunschweig) using a research clinical linear accelerator facility.

Purpose: The magnetic-field correction factors of compact air-filled ionization chambers have been investigated experimentally and using Monte Carlo simulations up to 1.5 T. The role of the nonsensitive region within the air cavity and influence of the chamber construction on its dose response have been elucidated.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the dose response of diode-type detectors in the presence of strong magnetic field and to understand the underlying mechanisms leading to the observed magnetic field dependence by close examinations on the role of the detector's design.

Materials And Methods: Three clinical diode-type detectors (PTW microSilicon type 60023, PTW microDiamond type 60019, and IBA Razor diode) have been studied. Measurements were performed at the linear accelerator experimental facility of the German National Metrology Institute (PTB, Braunschweig) with electromagnets up to 1.
