本論文乃利用蒙地卡羅方法來決定游離腔在中子場下的相對中子靈敏度(relative neutron sensitivity)，並且應用於清華大學開放式水池反應器(Tsing Hua open-pool reactor，簡稱THOR)中雙游離腔法(dual ionization chamber technique)的量測。
THOR硼中子捕獲治療(boron neutron capture therapy，簡稱BNCT)之治療環境為一混合輻射場：反應器產生的超熱中子束呈能譜分佈，並且常伴隨有光子產生。為了瞭解混合輻射場對病人的的影響，因此須使用多種方法來評估不同輻射的劑量貢獻。其中常利用雙游離腔法得到快中子劑量及光子劑量。在應用雙游離腔法計算劑量時，須知道游離腔對中子的反應，才能以公式解得到快中子及光子的劑量貢獻。
由於中子反應與能量相關，會隨著中子射束品質的改變而不同，因此在本論文中找出游離腔與中子反應的關係，並討論游離腔之角度依存性，再進一步得到BNCT混合場下水假體中不同位置游離腔對中子的反應。最後使用實驗量測結果配合游離腔的中子反應得到水假體中不同位置的快中子劑量及光子劑量。
