Concepts of radiation dosimetry
- SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), Menlo Park, CA (United States)
This monograph comprises a set of notes which was developed to accompany a seminar series on the Concepts of Radiation Dosimetry given by the authors at Stanford, University during the Spring Quarter 1970. It discusses the basic information required to understand the principles of photon and charged particle dose measurement from basic particle interactions, to cavity chamber theory. As health physicists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center we are interested in the dosimetry of high energy photons and charged particles. Thus, throughout the text we have emphasized the extension of dosimetry principles to the high energy situation. We hope that the reader will gain some insight to the dosimetry of particles such as pions and muons as well as high energy electrons and photons. Because the audience was composed primarily of experienced health physicists, radiation physicists, nuclear engineers, and medical doctors, many of whom hold advanced degrees, the material is presented at a level requiring advanced understanding of mathematics and physics.
