Résumé
A newly-designed large-area plane-parallel ionization chamber (of type PTW 34089), denoted BPC150, with a nominal active volume diameter of 147 mm is characterized in this study. Such chambers exhibit benefits compared to smaller chambers in the field of scanned light-ion beam dosimetry because they capture a larger fraction of the laterally-spread beam fragments and ease positioning with respect to small fields. The chamber was characterized in
