What's the difference between fluence and fluency?

Fluence


Definition:

  • (n.) Fluency.

  • (16) The exposure rate constant was determined by converting the count rate from a scintillation spectrometer into the photon-fluence rate incident upon the detector, then calculating the exposure rate from the photon-fluence rate.
  • (17) No discernible difference could be detected between the fluence-response curves of pyrimidine dimers for untreated and MMC-treated repair-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum cells of group A.

  • (19) The neutron fluence imparted to the irradiated subjects needs to be measured accurately in order to obtain meaningful results from diagnostic irradiations.
  • (20) Dose distributions were obtained using FFT convolutions of the kernels for each energy with the spectrally weighted fluence distributions for that energy.
