Abstract:
Dose resolution, DdeltaP, is becoming a common method for characterizing the performance of a gel dosimeter. In this note we examine how the goodness of fit of the calibration function affects DdeltaP and show that its inclusion in the calculation of DdeltaP is essential to avoid overestimating the performance of the gel.
