Development of a tissue equivalent proportional counter for separation of neutron-gamma mixed field
Description
The construction and development of a proportional counter sensitive to neutrons and gamma rays, which permits to simulate a microscopic region of tissue in order of some microns, is proposed. A spectral distribution in energy from the radiations is obtained from this counter, which treated adequately permits the computation of the absorved dose, dose equivalent and quality factor in a alarge range of energy.
