The Quotient of Absorbed Dose and the Collision Part of Kerma for Photon Beams
Jun, Jae-Shik;Loevinger, Robert;
ABSTRACT
With the conceptual definition of the quotient(${beta}$) of absorbed dose and the collision part of kerma for photon beams, the procedure of computing ${beta}$ is briefly described. A series of calculations of ${beta}$ was carried out for photons of 0.4, 0.5, 1 and 2 MeV in polystyrene, carbon, air and aluminum. Resultant values are tabulated and evaluated.
