Ambient dose equivalent H*(d) - an appropriate philosophy for radiation monitoring onboard aircraft and in space?

In this paper authors deals with the ambient dose equivalent H*(d) and their application for onboard Aircraft and Space station. The discussion and the carried out experiments demonstrated that the philosophy of H*(10) leads to an underestimation of the whole-body radiation exposure when applied onboard aircraft and in space. It therefore has to be considered to introduce a new concept that could be based on microdosimetric principles, offering the unique potential of a more direct correlation to radiobiological parameters
