Practical significance of f(Q), k
bq
(Q)
➢
Using a detector at the same quality as calibration (Q
0
) is straightforward:
➢
Using a detector at a quality Q different than calibration (Q
0
):
cannot be generally assumed energy independent
must be calculated
must be measured
or taken from the literature for
matching
exp. conditions (Q, Q
0
, detector make,
size, set up, …)
