Difference between Beta particle and Ionization chamber

Beta particle vs. Ionization chamber

A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, (symbol β) is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay. The ionization chamber is the simplest of all gas-filled radiation detectors, and is widely used for the detection and measurement of certain types of ionizing radiation; X-rays, gamma rays, and beta particles.

Similarities between Beta particle and Ionization chamber

Beta particle and Ionization chamber have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absorbed dose, Alpha particle, Electron, Gamma ray, Geiger counter, Ionizing radiation, Radiation therapy, X-ray.

Absorbed dose

Absorbed dose is a measure of the energy deposited in a medium by ionizing radiation.

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation (ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator.
