abstract = {Within two studies, kQ factors for two Farmer-type
ionization chambers have been experimentally determined by
means of water calorimetry in the entrance channel (EC) of a
monoenergetic carbon-ion beam [1] and for a passively
modulated spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) [2]. Both studies
were performed at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center
(HIT) using the PTB portable water calorimeter but applying
different initial beam energies of 429 MeV/u for the EC and
278 MeV/u for the SOBP as well as different scanning
patterns of the irradiated eld. Comparing their results
revealed differences between the experimental kQ factors of
up to $1.9\%$ between the EC and the SOBP. To further
investigate this unexpected difference, we performed
additional kQ determinations for the EC of an 278 MeV/u
monoenergetic carbon-ion beam and reevaluated the original
data of Osinga-Blättermann et al. [1]. This new
experimental data indicated no difference between the kQ
factors for the EC and the SOBP and the reevaluation led to
a substantial reduction of the originally published kQ
factors for the EC of the 429 MeV/u beam [1]. Finally, no
signicant difference between the data for the EC and the
data for the SOBP can be found within the standard
measurement uncertainty of experimental kQ factors of 0.8
$\%.$ The results presented here are intended to correct and
replace the kQ data published by Osinga- Blättermann et al.
[1] and in Osinga-Blättermann and Krauss [3].},
