Dosimetric quantities for 300 KeV neutrons

Dosimetric quantities for 300 KeV neutrons in the ICRU standard tissue sphere were evaluated. The Monte Carlo code NEDEP which performs neutron-photon-charged particles coupled transport was used in the direct estimation of absorbed dose and dose equivalent. Some important quantities calculated are as follows; Deep dose equivalent index HI,d: 1.78x10-11 Sv-cm2 Shallow dose equivalent index HI,s: 2.08x10-11 Sv-cm2 Ambient dose equivalent H*(0.07): 1.7x10-11 Sv-cm2 Ambient dose equivalent H*(10): 1.78x 10-11 Sv-cm2 Effecttive quality factor Q-bar*(10): 12.4 (Author)
