Abstract
From mathematical considerations, an equation is derived for measuring the exposure dose of high energy radiation with cavity ionization chambers relating the hypothetical uniform exposure dose to the actual dose at a point in space plus correction factors. Experimental results are presented which are consistent with a measurement of exposure dose made at the center of the chamber but not in the wall.Keywords
