Abstract: The structure and technical characteristics of T34035 Hp (10) secondary standard ionization chamber are introduced. The calibration coefficient NH and correction factor k(R, α) of Hp (10) secondary standard ionization chamber are measured. The uncertainty of the calibration coefficient NH is 4.6% (k=2), and the uncertainty of the correction factor k(R, α) is 6% (k=2). When the radiation incident angle is less than 75 degrees, the energy response is better than ±20% in the range of 12 keV-1 250 keV, and the non-linearity of personal dose equivalent rate is better than ±3% in the range of 100 μSv/h-3 Sv/h. The k(R,α) values of some narrow spectrum N series and low air specific kinetic energy L series are simulated by MCNP5. The results show that the error between the calculated value and the measured value is within the range of ±6%. The ionization chamber meets the requirements of the secondary standard ionization chamber and can be used directly for the transmission of Hp (10) value.

Key words: Hp(10) secondary standard ionization chamber, calibration factor NH, correction factor k(R,α)
