skos:definition "The quantity 'K', defined as:<br/>
'E'<br/>
'K '= d tr<br/>
d'm'<br/>
where d'E ' is the sum of the initial kinetic energies of all charged ionizing <br/>
tr<br/>
particles liberated by uncharged ionizing particles in a material of mass d'm'. <br/>(From Ref. [1].)<br/>
Unit: 'gray '(Gy).<br/>Originally an acronym for kinetic energy released in matter, but now accepted <br/>as a word.<br/>
<i><b>air kerma.</b></i> The 'kerma' value for air.<br/>
Under charged particle equilibrium conditions, the 'air kerma' (in 'gray') is <br/>numerically approximately equal to the 'absorbed dose' in air (in 'gray').<br/>
<i><b>reference air kerma rate.</b></i> The 'kerma' rate to air, in air, at a reference <br/>distance of 1 m, corrected for air 'attenuation' and scattering. (From <br/>Ref. [1].)<br/>
This quantity is expressed in µGy/h at 1 m.<br/>" (en)
