The detour factor as the measure of-electron scattering in a target was implemented in electron-beam dosimetry by Harder [3] by the definition as the ratio of a characteristic The average depth of electron penetration is introduced as depth, i.e., the extrapolated or projected range, to the CSDA the physical quantity useful in electron beam irradiation. It is defined as the average Of the maximum depths On the range. On the basis of Monte Carlo data on the projected range, detour factors have been calculated for a wide region of trajectories of electrons passing through finite, semi-infinite the initial energy of electrons and varieties of target material or iizfinite medium. The relation between the transmission coefficient as a function of slab thickness and the distribution ,41. The use of detour factor for scaling procedure in electronof the maximum depths is analyzed, and a semiempirical beam dosimetry has been studied recently ,51, equation to calculate the average depth of electron penetration is given for 0.1-to 50-MeV electrons incident on materials of atonlic numberS from 4 to 92, It is shown that the quantity introduced is usable as the characteristic depths of energy and charge depositions in a target, and can possibly be generalized to the case of heterogeneous targets.
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.
