Ratio between the radiation dose and the absorbed dose

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

The article indicates the difference between the concepts “radiation dose” and “absorbed dose” specific formulas are given for calculating an absorbed dose from the results of absolute measurements of a radiation dose, and the conditions of electron equilibrium during dosimetric measurements of x-rays and γ-radiations of various energies within the 200 kev — 32 Mev range are stated.
