Applications of cavity theories for electrons to LiF dosemeters

Abstract
A tabulation of the existing data on the response of LiF to electrons measured by various authors is presented. Theoretical calculations are carried out using the Burlin et al. theory (1969) and its modified version by Almond and McCray (1970). Experimentally measured response by the authors is also reported. It is concluded that the predictions made by the two approaches differ significantly.
