Abstract
A comparison was made of the central axis depth-dose curves obtained for 15 Mev electrons using an ion chamber and LiF dosemeters. The two uncorrected curves were very similar and gave the same depth-dose curves within experimental limits. Corrections that must be made to the LiF curve for energy and dose dependence and to the ion chamber readings for the polarization effect are small, (a few per cent); the corrected curves are essentially in agreement within experimental errors.
