Fast neutron response of alanine probes
- 1. Gesellschaft fuer Strahlen- und Umweltforschung mbH Muenchen, Neuherberg (Germany, F.R.)
Description
The energy response of alanine dosimeter probes with 20% paraffin admixtures for neutron energies between 0.6 and 15 MeV was determined experimentally using accelerator-produced monoenergetic neutrons. Theoretical considerations are made to estimate the energy dependence of the response relative to the response to photons. An optimum mixture of alanine and paraffin is derived which would give an energy-independent neutron tissue dose-response, if the kerma ratio were the only factor influencing the energy response.
