## photon exposure, $$H_{\text{p}}$$

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.P04632
@[email protected], $$E_{\text{p}}$$, integrated over the time of @[email protected] for a beam incident from all upward directions. SI unit is $$\text{m}^{-2}$$.
Notes:
1. Mathematical definition: $$H_{\text{p}} = \int_{t}E_{\text{p}}\text{d}t$$. If the @[email protected] is constant over the time interval, $$H_{\text{p}} = E_{\text{p}}t$$.
2. This term refers to a beam not scattered or reflected by the target or its surroundings. For a beam incident from all directions photon fluence ($$H_{\text{p,o}}$$, $$F_{\text{p,o}}$$) is an equivalent term.
3. This quantity can be used on a @[email protected] basis by dividing $$H_{\text{p}}$$ by the @[email protected], the symbol then being $$H_{n\text{,p}}$$, the name 'photon exposure, amount basis', SI unit is $$\text{mol m}^{-2}$$; common unit is $$\text{einstein m}^{-2}$$.
