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)
