"Cutie Pie"
A
portable ionization chamber is used to measure
relatively stable exposure dose rates.
The ionization chamber was nicknamed the Cutie
Pie by Atomic Energy Scientists, but it is
unclear where the name originated.
The most likely
answer is that it was such a nice design that
someone said or thought, "Hey, that's a real
cutie pie" The latter was a common slang term in
the 40's for something really neat. Attempts
have been made to explain it as Q T Pi with the
Q referring to charge and T Pi meaning two pie
geometry or having the t stand for time.
