Competency information
Details
Measure the depth ionisation curves and profiles of an electron beam and, with reference to the code of practice, evaluate the effect of chamber design. Determine the depth dose curve
Considerations
- Characterisation of the electron curves and profiles
- Choice of the appropriate chamber
- Use of a plotting tank and other measurement media (ie solid water)
