Abstract

Energy dependence of the radiation chemical yield of hydrochloric acid, G(HCl), of chlorobenzene-ethanol-trimethylpentane (CET) dosimetry system was investigated to medium energy X-rays (210, 150 and 120 kV maximum energy). In the dose range 50–150 Gy the concentrations of chloride ions were determined spectrophotometrically. Reference dosimetry for all measurements was carried out by the Fricke dosimeter. There was no change of radiation chemical yield of chloride ions with photon energy throughout the X-ray energy range applied in this work, i.e. down to the mean energy of about 50 keV.
