Description

The BIPM has constructed a graphite calorimeter for use as a primary standard for absorbed dose. It is employed to measure absorbed dose to water in the BIPM 60Co reference beam and in accelerator photon beams. It is currently in use for a series of international comparisons of absorbed dose to water in the accelerator photon beams of national metrology institutes. The paper describes the BIPM calorimeter and presents some recent results. (author)
