Abstract

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