Ceric sulfate dosimetry is used for accurate measurement of the absorbed dose in water irradiated with x- or gamma-rays or high-energy electrons. It is based on the process of reduction of ceric to cerous ions by ionizing radiation. The method is most accurate for absorbed doses in the range from 1 x 10/sup 6/ to 8 x 10/sup 6/ rd, using spectrophotometric measurement of the ceric ion concentration. The method covers the preparation and procedure for the use of the ceric sulfate dosimeter and includes a discussion of interferences, equipment, reagents, standardization and preparation, determination of the molar extinction coefficient, dosimetry measurements, calculation of absorbed dose, determination of the G-value, precision, and accuracy.
