Key Terminology
-
Exagray per second (EGy/s)
-
An SI-derived unit measuring absorbed dose rate equal to 10^18 grays per second, indicating the rate of ionizing radiation energy absorbed by matter.
-
Gigagray per second (GGy/s)
-
A unit of absorbed dose rate equal to one gigagray per second or 10^9 joules per kilogram per second, quantifying ionizing radiation energy deposited in matter.
-
Absorbed dose rate
-
The amount of ionizing radiation energy deposited per kilogram of matter per unit time, used to assess radiation exposure effects.
