Since then the ion chamber has been a widely used tool in the laboratory for research and calibration purposes. [2] Because of the very low currents generated, any stray leakage current must be kept to a minimum in order to preserve accuracy. In this case, the number of interactions are less and the dose measured is under estimated from the measured dose under standard conditions. They are only practical for beams with energy of 2 MeV or less, and high stem leakage makes them unsuited to precise dosimetry. 2016 Jul;9(2):187-92. doi: 10.1007/s12194-016-0348-3.
