Abstract
The design and construction of a set of parallel plate ionization cham bers with one of the electrodes segmented in strips are presented. The performances of the chambers as from a test on a 270 MeV/u(12)C(+6) b eam are reported in view of their use in a 3-D dosimeter for therapeut ical hadron beams.
