ambient dose equivalent, H*(d): The dose equivalent that would be produced by the corresponding aligned and expanded field in the ICRU sphere at a depth d on the radius opposing the direction of the aligned field. Defined at a point in a radiation field. Used as a directly measurable proxy for effective dose for use in monitoring of external exposure.

equivalent to a uniform spheric distribution
The dose is taken from point or directional sources.
An "ambient" source is uniform in all directions, as if the source was uniformly distributed on a sphere (radius d)
So at a specific point in a radiation field of which sources are scattered, multiple or different in strength, this is the uniformly distributed quantity of radioactive material on a sphere centered on the point with a radius d that produces the same dose

| By source you mean where samples are taken? Thanks in advance. |
