Methods were developed for the determination of the spectral distribution of the radiation s a point within the scattering medium. Measurements in the 250-kev range are reported. The spectral distributions for a variety of depths and field areas in a water phantom were determined for half- value layers ranging from 1 to 3 nan copper. The spectra of the primary, scattered, and total radiation were determined absolutely. Repth-dose data calculated from these spectra are in excellent agreement with published data. The results of the measurements are given in tables in which the spectral number flux density in photons per square centimeter per 10 kev for 100 r in air is presented. (M.C.G.)
