Abstract
Some of the experimental problems involved in determining reference standards and procedure for very high energy X- or gamma-rays (above 2 Mev) are discussed. For a satisfactory solution of some problems in ionometric dosimetry more experimental information is required on broad beam attenuation, state of particle equilibrium and stopping power for electrons including the polarization effect.Keywords
