Buildup factors and kerma for Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ in the energy range 0.015-15 MeV Available to Purchase

The energy absorption buildup factors (EABF) have been calculated for some thermoluminescent dosimetric materials (Al₂O₃ and SiO₂) in the energy region 0.015-15 MeV up to the penetration depth of 40 mean free paths (mfp). Also, kerma relative to air has been determined for these materials. It is observed that the energy absorption buildup factors and kerma relative to air depend on the photon energy and chemical content. Also, the energy absorption build up factors are found the highest in intermediate energy whereas the lowest in low- as well as high energies.
