The Röntgen equivalent physical or rep (symbol rep) is a unit of radiation dose first introduced by Herbert Parker in 1950. It is the absorbed energetic dose before the biological efficiency of the radiation is factored in. More precisely, the rep is defined as 93 ergs per gram (9.3 mGy)[1].
[edit] Notes
- ^ Updated from the original value of 83 ergs per gram.
