Difficulties in obtaining Uniform Dose Distribution throughout Electron-irradiated Plastic Mouldings

Abstract

THE published ranges of fast electrons and the associated depth/dose curves have been measured in slabs of material irradiated with initially mono-energetic electrons. Such figures give an indication of the maximum thickness of bulk material which can be usefully irradiated with an electron beam of a particular energy.
