研究目的
Re-evaluation of the correction factors for the GROVEX following setup improvements and re-measuring of key dimensions to improve the measurement of the reference air kerma rate (RAKR).
研究成果
The re-evaluation of the correction factors for the GROVEX, including setup improvements and re-measuring of key dimensions, led to a reduction in the measured RAKR by approximately 0.9% for a seed of type Bebig I25.S16C. This change lies within the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) and represents a significant improvement in the measurement accuracy of the RAKR.
研究不足
The study's limitations include the uncertainty in the exact date of setup changes and the assumption of linear behavior for the anisotropy correction below 10°. The impact of the present results on previous measurements cannot be fully determined due to inconsistencies in the setup over time.
