A new conservative computational procedure is proposed for calculating the average absorbed energy of electron radiation in objects undergoing radiation processing. Semi-empirical relationships were obtained and software for dosimetry of electron radiation was developed. A comparison was made of the results obtained using the proposed method with the results of known and traditional methods of electron radiation dosimetry as well as with the results of measurements performed at the sterilization center of the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, Warsaw, Poland was carried out.

The work is devoted to studying the possibility of using a two-parametric model of an electron beam to describe the depth distributions of the electron dose in materials with a low density and an effective atomic number. In this model, the parameters are determined by fitting the semi-empirical model (PFSEM-method) to the results of meas-urements of the depth-dose distribution in a dosimetric wedge. The depth-dose distributions in a birchwood wedge were measured at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology in Warsaw, Poland. The parameters of the electron beam incident on the wedge were determined by the PFSEM method. The Monte Carlo simulations of the depth-dose distribution in the wedge for the process of electron irradiation, the characteristics of which are deter-mined by the PFSEM method, have been carried out. It is shown that there is a satisfactory agreement between the measurement results and the Monte Carlo simulation of the depth-dose distribution. The advantages of describing depth-dose distributions in a wedge based on a two-parametric model of an electron beam in comparison with tradi-tional methods of polynomial approximation of measurement results are discussed.
