Overview of fluence to dose equivalent conversion coefficients for high-energy radiations - calculational methods and results of effective dose equivalent and effective dose per unit particle fluence

In and around high energy accelerator facilities, high energy radiation dose estimation is important for the radiation protection of workers. The contribution of high energy protons and neutrons to the radiation exposure of astronauts can also not be disregarded inside a spacecraft. This report provides an overview of calculational methodologies and estimated results of effective doses and effective dose equivalents for high energy radiations such as photons, neutrons, protons, and electrons in several groups. These data will be helpful to establish an authoritative dose equivalent conversion coefficients for high energy radiations. (author)
