Charged Particle (=Electronic) Equilibrium

High

energy beam enters surface:

KERMA

is max because fluence is

greatest at surface

High

energy: energy is

deposited in front

of the interacting photon

lack

of energy deposition at the surface

Dose at surface is low (contamination: charged particles generated in linac

head)

depth

Transition stage

Transient equilibrium
