Investigation of radiation quality with differential ionization chambers

In radiotherapy, half value layer has been accepted as a practical specification of the quality of primary x-rays. For the degraded radiation in a scattering medium, however, it is neither an applicable nor an adequate specification of the quality. This thesis describes a practical method of invest...
