EURAMET supplementary comparison of personal dose equivalent rate at 0.07 mm and 3 mm depth, <i>H</i> <sub>p</sub>(0.07) and <i>H</i> <sub>p</sub>(3), for beta radiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Main text For quality assurance in the realization and transfer of the unit of the absorbed dose rate at 0.07 mm tissue depth for beta radiation by the national standard laboratories, comparison measurements, especially between the primary standard facilities are needed. A corresponding comparison took place from 2004 to 2007 as EUROMET project No. 739. The comparison described in this report took place from 2018 to 2023 with the following extensions: instead of only eight laboratories, this time 16 participants from all parts of the world (five continents) were included; besides the absorbed dose rate at 0.07 mm tissue depth, 3 mm tissue depth was included for the first time; three different types of primary standards and radiation sources of four differing design types were used; one laboratory participated at an extreme altitude of 3000 m above sea level which required a very significant correction for air density to the dose rate; finally, besides the long-established beta reference radiation fields from the three radio nuclides 1. 147 Pm with E̅ = 0.07 MeV and E max = 0.22 MeV, 2. 85 Kr with E̅ = 0.25 MeV and E max = 0.7 MeV, and 3. 90 Sr/ 90 Y with E̅ = 0.8 MeV and E max = 2.3 MeV, also a fourth, i.e., a high-energy radiation field utilizing 4. 106 Ru/ 106 Rh with E̅ = 1.2 MeV and E max = 3.5 MeV, was included for the first time; all four in accordance with the international standard series ISO 6980 from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). A flat ionization chamber accompanied by a complete measurement system was used as the transfer instrument for the comparison. The calibration coefficients of this chamber were compared in the reference fields listed above. The 16 participants were from Germany (PTB), Portugal (IST-LPSR), Spain (CIEMAT), Hungary (BFKH), Sweden (SSM), Finland (STUK), France (LNE-LNHB), China (NIM), Republic of Korea (KRISS), Taiwan (INER), Japan (NMIJ), South Africa (NMISA), Mexico (ININ), Canada (NRC), United States of America (NIST), and Cuba (CPHR). The PTB was the pilot laboratory, and the comparison ran under EURAMET Project No. 1398 and BIPM KCDB: EURAMET.RI(I)-S16. The results from 13 of the 16 participants are consistent with the stated uncertainties while one participant's results agree for normal radiation incidence (0°) but not for oblique angles, one participant's results agree for the quantity H p (0.07) but not for H p (3) and one participant's results agree for the 90 Sr/ 90 Y radiation quality but not for 85 K.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCRI, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
