Abstract
To study the relationships between dose (D), kerma (K), and collision kerma (urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp13744:mp13744-math-0001) in photon beams and to investigate total radiative yields for electrons and positrons as a function of energy. To do this accurately required calculating collision kerma directly as a function of position in a phantom and making changes to the EGSnrc package (including DOSRZnrc and g applications).
