“…The methods which were used were essentially those outlined in [1].^Results are given for Eq varying in approximately logarithmic intervals from 0.025 to 10 Mev, for the following materials: C, Al, Cu, Sn, Pb, air, and polystyrene. In the case of Sn and Pb, some of the lower and some of the higher values of Eo have been omitted, the lower values because the range and cross-section data are unreliable near the atomic binding energies, the higher values because radiation straggling, which has not been taken into account, tends to dominate at high energies.…”

“…Measurements of electron dose deposition from point sources or broad-parallel beams raise difficult problems due to the sharp dose gradient and the very short ranges of these particles in condensed tissue-like media (Vynckier and Wambersie 1982, Simpkin and Mackie 1990. Nevertheless, DPKs measured in air and other solids have been reported in a number of studies (Loevinger 1950, 1954, Clark et al 1955, Cross 1967a, 1968, 1969. With respect to DDPs, measurements are mostly available for the case of electron beams from medical linear accelerator units (e.g.…”

“…14 Because of the short ranges of electrons, direct measurement of the dose deposition of these sources is very difficult. Several investigations have been made by Loevinger, 15 Clark et al, 16 Cross, 17 Cole, 18 and others to determine measured dose point kernels. Spencers numerical solution to the transport equation of primary electrons in a uniform unbounded medium in the continuous-slowing-down approximation showed a very good agreement with previous measurements.…”
