Abstract：
:The dosimetry protocols DIN 6800-2 and AAPM TG-51, both based on the absorbed dose to water concept, are compared in their theoretical background and in their application to electron dosimetry. The agreement and disagreement in correction factors and energy parameters used in both protocols will be shown and discussed. Measurements with three different types of ionization chambers were performed and evaluated according to both protocols. As a result the perturbation correction factor P(60Co)wall for the Roos chamber was determined to 1.024 +/- 0.5%.
