The same TLD chip as in problems 4 and 6 is exposed to a beam of 100-keV electrons, resulting in a TL reading of 2.36×10⁻⁷ C. a. What is the average absorbed dose in the whole chip? (5 points) b. Assuming that the electrons strike the chip perpendicular to its 3.2 ×3.2-mm flat surface, what is the average dose within only the surface layer of thickness equal to the CSDA range of the electrons? (5 points) c. What was the fluence of electrons that struck the chip, assuming backscattering to be negligible? (Chip mass = 29.3 mg.)
