과제정보
This work was supported by the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) under the project "Development of Measurement Standards for Medical Radiation (2022)." The authors express gratitude to Dr. D.T. Burns in the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) for suggesting the introduction of (𝚫w/𝚫l) Eq. (6), which gives a 0.033-mm-reduction in the elongated length (originally, it was evaluated to be 0.203 mm, with an assumption of 𝚫l=𝚫w). We note that this study was motivated from by the discussion between the author (Yi) with Dr. D.T. Burns and Dr. C Kessler during his stay in the BIPM dosimetry laboratory for the BIPM-CCRI(I) Key Comparison measurement of the low-energy X-ray air kermas between KRISS and BIPM in 2017.
