Air KERMA Measurements
In very little time you'll be able to acquire any necessary air KERMA measurements.
Beam Quality Report
Just enter all the air KERMA measurements in the calculations/analysis tool provided and print the results for your records, to implement an statistical process control for an imaging equipment performance monitoring program, for any radiation dosimetry calculations, to use as input for computer simulations, etc.
Why It Works?

Symmetrical Attenuating Material and Irradiation
"Every scattered or secondary photon that is generated directly or indirectly by a primary on its way to the detector, strikes the detector. The attenuating material is arranged in cylindrical layers surrounding the detector. The beam is made large enough to irradiate the attenuator fully. The out-scattered photons, generated in the atten
"Every scattered or secondary photon that is generated directly or indirectly by a primary on its way to the detector, strikes the detector. The attenuating material is arranged in cylindrical layers surrounding the detector. The beam is made large enough to irradiate the attenuator fully. The out-scattered photons, generated in the attenuator upstream of the detector, but not striking it, tend to be compensated by in-scattered photons, originating elsewhere in the attenuator."

“The true absorption coefficient is the attenuation in total photon intensity which is expected when the Compton scattering produces no effective attenuation. The fractional diminution in the energy flux outside the cylindrical attenuator is that fraction of the primary photon energy which is converted into kinetic energy of secondary electrons in the attenuator, through Compton and photoelectric absorption. The photon energy which is scattered will still traverse the detector. Owing to the circular symmetry of the attenuator, there is no preferred direction in the plane of the incident beam. Consequently, the number of photons scattered away from the detector is the same as the number scattered toward the detector.”

Ideal Broad-Beam Attenuation
"If, in addition to having (or accurately simulating) ideal broad-beam geometry, we require the detector to respond in proportion to the radiant energy of all the primary, scattered, and secondary uncharged radiation incident upon it, then we have a case that may be called ideal broad-beam attenuation. Ideal broad-beam geometry exists (o
"If, in addition to having (or accurately simulating) ideal broad-beam geometry, we require the detector to respond in proportion to the radiant energy of all the primary, scattered, and secondary uncharged radiation incident upon it, then we have a case that may be called ideal broad-beam attenuation. Ideal broad-beam geometry exists (or is simulated), and the detector responds in proportion to the radiant energy incident on it. In that case mu (effective) = mu (energy). "
