  The goal of this work is to present results of field output factors (OF)
using an IBA CC003 (Razor NanoChamber) and compared these results with PTW
60019 (MicroDiamond) and IBA Razor Diode. The experimental results for IBA
CC003 were also compared with Monte Carlo (MC) Simulation, using Penelope and
Ulysses programs. In addition, field output correction factors for IBA CC003
were derived with three different methods: 1) using PTW 60019 and IBA Razor as
reference detectors; 2) comparison between MC and experimental measurements;
and 3) using only MC. The beam collimation included in this study were 1)
square field size between 10x10 and 0.5x0.5 cm2 defined by the MLC and jaws and
2) cones of different diameters. For IBA CC003 it was determined the polarity
and ion collection efficiency correction factors in parallel and perpendicular
orientation. The results indicate 1) the variation of polarity effect with the
field size is relevant for the determination of OF using IBA CC003, especially
for parallel orientation; 2) there is no significant variation of the ion
collection efficiency with the field size using IBA CC003 in parallel
orientation; 3) OF differences between IBA CC003 and PTW 60019/IBA Razor and
experimental and MC results increase with decreasing field size. Results on the
field output correction factor indicate 1) using the first and second method,
the factor increase with decreasing field size, which can be related with the
influence of the volume effect and 2) using the third method the factor
decrease with decreasing field size, which can be explained by the perturbation
effect.
