Description

Different models for description of the radiation field, built according to the point-kernel method, are considered. Their adequateness is discussed on the basis of a theoretical calculation by the Monte Carlo method of the exposure rate distribution around pencil type Cobalt 60 source, part of a source rod. The choice of the model for routine exposure rate estimation depends on the layer thicknesses between the source points and the field point. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die mit der Monta-Carlo-Methode berechnete Expositionsleistung in Feldpunkten nahe eines Bestrahlungsrohres wird als Basis benutzt, um die Guete verschiedener Approximationen in der Point-kernel Methode zu diskutieren. Die Wahl der Approximation haengt von den durchdrungenen Schichtdicken der Materialien zwischen den Punktquellen und dem Feldpunkt ab. (orig.)
