roentgen unit
2. Usually with lower-case initial. A unit of exposure to X or gamma radiation, now defined as equal to the quantity of radiation that gives rise to ions carrying a total positive or negative charge of 2·58 × 10−4 coulomb per kg of air under standard conditions. Formerly also roentgen unit. Symbol R or r. The precise definition of this unit has been altered several times (cf. quot. 1950). Exposure to ionizing radiation is now usually measured according to the SI system, in which the unit is coulombs per kg. Cf. rem n.1, rep n.9
