Backscatter and dose perturbations for low- to medium-energy electron point sources at the interface between materials with different atomic numbers.

Electron backscatter at interfaces between dissimilar media can affect dosimetry and should be taken into consideration in radiotherapy and in radiobiology experiments. Backscatter dose perturbations depend upon factors such as electron energy, medium atomic number (Z), and distance from the interfa...
