Description
The International Commission on Radiological Protection, presented news conversion factor of kerma in air, Ka-r, to the ambient dose equivalent, H*(d), using monoenergetic photons beam in the range of 0.01 to 10 MeV. This work presents results for the same conversions factors mentioned above, but only to the monoenergetic photons beam to 50 MeV contributing this way for future works. The method used to obtain the results was the Monte Carlo code MCNP version 4(2). (author)
