TLDR
The use of radiochromic dye films for electron dosimetry has been extended to absorbers with atomic numbers in the range 13–50 and it is demonstrated that the use of the constant stopping-power ratio gives depth-dose distributions that differ by no more than 1–2 per cent from the results obtained with the more rigorously evaluated stopping- power ratios.

Low energy scanned electron-beam dose distributions in thin layers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radiochromic dye film dosimeters calibrated by means of calorimetry to determine absorbed-dose distributions due to low-energy scanned electron beam penetrations in moderately thin coatings and laminar media.

Electron Depth-Dose Distribution Measurements in Two-Layer Slab Absorbers

TL;DR: An investigation of stopping-power ratio evaluation methods based on the treatment of the film dosimeter as a nonperturbing cavity demonstrated that a constant value could be used for each material in a two-layer absorber independent of the thickness of each layer.

Distribution of Ionization in Materials Irradiated by Two and Three Million‐Volt Cathode Rays

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of ionization in depth of aluminum produced by steady beams of two and three million-volt electrons was investigated. And the effect on this transverse distribution of additional aluminum scattering foils, and a practical method of cathode-ray dosage computation were given.

Calculation of energy and charge deposition and of the electron flux in a water medium bombarded with 20-MEV electrons.

TL;DR: Information is presented on the penetration of high-energy electrons into a water phantom with particular reference to the following topics: energy and charge deposition; electron flux (differential in energy), including primary and secondary electrons down to a spectral energy of 400 ev; and distribution of delta-ray track ends.
