Optimizing radiation dosimetry: Impact of PMMA layers on electronic equilibrium for the calibration of radiation protection instruments.

In radiation dosimetry, achieving electronic equilibrium is vital for accurate dose measurements in radioprotection. This study investigates the effect of Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) layers, known by its chemical formula CHO and a density of 1.19 g/cm³ (PNNL, 2011), on electronic equilibrium for the calibration of radiation protection instruments, focusing on photon beams of varying energies.
