Table 2.

The breakdown of the dose to various layers of EBT film based on what percentage of electrons entered from above or below or stayed entirely within the layer of interest. The total dose to the layer per unit fluence incident on the phantom (in Gy cm2) is also included. The only layer that is not water is the surface layer. Data from a simulation where all layers are water are also included. Data are shown with the absolute one standard deviation uncertainty in brackets.
