Forest IonizationChambers

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).

1. recombination
2. ionization
3. proportional (plataue)
4. Geiger-Muller
