The first comparison of national standards of absorbed dose for 6oCo gamma radiation has been carried out by the Laboratoire de Marologie des Rayonnements Ionisants (LMRI) and the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). The graphite calorimeters were compared in the LMRI 6oCo gamma-ray beam. The ratio of the response of the NBS calorimeter to the LMRI calorimeter was 1.003, with a 95% confident limit of f0.6%, and an estimated upper bound to the systematic uncertainties of ?0.3%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
