Description

A key comparison has been made between the air-kerma standards of the VNIIM and the BIPM in the low-energy x-ray range. The results show the standards to be in agreement at the level of the combined standard uncertainty of 2.4 parts in 103, with evidence of a slight trend with radiation quality. The results are analysed and presented in terms of degrees of equivalence, suitable for entry in the BIPM key comparison database. (authors)
