Calibration instrumentation

As a secondary dosimetry laboratory for therapy levels, the Radiophysics Laboratory has a secondary absorbed dose rate in water standard (traced to the German primary laboratory PTB).

As a secondary dosimetry laboratory for radiation protection levels, the Radiophysics Laboratory has a secondary air-in-air kerma and secondary ambient dose equivalent rate standard (traced to the German primary laboratory PTB).

Additional dosimetry instrumentation

In addition, the laboratory has instruments to measure absolute or relative dose:

•  Electrometers
