Sensitivity, calibration & energy response:
Our calibration coeff. (inverse of dosimeter A.D. sensitivity)
actually comprises 2 parts:
•
we define the
absorbed dose energy dependence
of the detector as the ratio
of dose to water per unit dose to the detector at a given beam quality,
•
We define the
intrinsic energy dependence
of the detector as the ratio of dose
required to be absorbed to produce a unit signal
