An ionization chamber is essentially a gas filled volume which has one or more wires suspended inside with a voltage bias used to collect any ions or liberated electrons within the volume.
There are 4 basic operating regions which are determined by the amount of the voltage across the wire(s).
- recombination
- ionization
- proportional (plataue)
- Geiger-Muller
Proportional Counter
