AbstractAbstract
[en] A comprehensive set of kerma factors for neutrons and photons has been computed for the International Commission on Radiological Protection's (ICRP) standard man, ICRP soft tissue, ICRP red bone marrow, ICRP eye lens, H2O, dry air, Al, Si, 32S, Ar, and four thermoluminescent dosimeter materials. The energy range for neutrons is 10-9 to 20 MeV, divided into 175 energy groups. For photons, the energy range is 10-3 to 20 MeV, and kerma factors are calculated at 144 energy values. The kerma factors were computed using the neutron group-averaged and photon pointwise Evaluated Nuclear Data Library. Results are compared with those in other works where appropriate. The use of kerma factors to convert fluence to absorbed-dose index for ICRP tissue is discussed
