Kerma, which stands for "Kinetic Energy Released per unit MAss," is a term used in radiation physics to quantify the energy transferred to charged particles, such as electrons, by ionizing radiation (like X-rays or gamma rays) in a medium, per unit mass of that medium. The concept is important in the fields of medical physics, radiation therapy, and radiation safety.
