Comments on `Ion recombination corrections for plane-parallel and thimble chambers in electron and photon radiation'

Abstract

The paper by Havercroft and Klevenhagen (1993 Phys. Med. Biol. 38 25-38) dealing with ion recombination corrections confirms some results obtained at NPL. However, a detailed comparison of results revealed some errors by Havercroft and Klevenhagen which may affect some of the authors' conclusions. Suggestions are also put forward to explain some other results.
