directional dose equivalent

Standard

ECSS-E-ST-10-12C - Methods for the calculation of radiation received and its effects, and a policy for design margins (15 November 2008) + "Identified typographical error"

Definition

dose at a point equivalent to the one produced by the corresponding expanded radiation field in the ICRU sphere at a specific depth d on a radius on a specified direction

Notes

NOTE 1 It is normally expressed as H'(d, W), where d is the specific depth used in its definition, in mm, and W is the direction.
NOTE 2 H'(d,W), is relevant to weakly-penetrating radiation where a reference depth of 0,07 mm is usually used and the quantity denoted H'(0,07, W).
