Absorbed dose sensitivity (SAD) of a dosimeter results from absorbed dose energy dependence (f) and intrinsic energy dependence (kbq) both influenced by compositional and dimensional details. Within attenuating media the SAD is also affected by the depth at which measurements are made as beam qualit...
