What does joule/kilogram/second represent in radiation measurements?

It quantifies the absorbed dose rate of ionizing radiation energy deposited per unit mass each second, equivalent to gray per second.

How does teragray/second relate to gray per second?

One teragray per second equals 10¹² grays per second, scaling up the dose rate measurement to extremely high values.

When should I use teragray/second instead of joule/kilogram/second?

Teragray/second is used in ultra-high-dose-rate radiation studies, such as laser-driven particle experiments or nuclear detonation research, where very large dose rates occur.
