Personal dose equivalent conversion coefficients for electrons to 1 Ge V

Calculation of Effective Dose Conversion Coefficients for Electrons

Calculation of airkerma conversion factor to personal dose equivalent at various depths using the Monte Carlo Code GATE

Several studies have been done with the aim of improving the quality of the radiation protection measurement in radiology and nuclear medicine. Among  different subjects which are capable to be considered in this area, the measurement of the operational quantities of protection against the radiation ,such as, personal dose equivalent ,HP(d), at different depths (d=0.07mm, 3mm, 10mm) is an impor...

Tritons at energies of 10 MeV to 1 TeV: conversion coefficients for fluence-to-absorbed dose, equivalent dose, effective dose and gray equivalent, calculated using Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNPX 2.7.C.

Conversion coefficients were calculated for fluence-to-absorbed dose, fluence-to-equivalent dose, fluence-to-effective dose and fluence-to-gray equivalent for isotropic exposure of an adult female and an adult male to tritons ((3)H(+)) in the energy range of 10 MeV to 1 TeV (0.01-1000 GeV). Coefficients were calculated using Monte Carlo transport code MCNPX 2.7.C and BodyBuilder™ 1.3 anthropomo...

Radon progeny dose conversion coefficients for Chinese males and females.

The airway dimensions for Caucasian males have been scaled by multiplying by factors 0.95 and 0.88 to give those for Chinese males and females, respectively. Employing the most recent data on physical and biological parameters, the radiation doses to the basal and secretory cells due to alpha particles from 218Po and 214Po, homogeneously distributed in the mucous layer, have been calculated. Th...

Development and Characterization of a Neutron Personal Dose Equivalent Monitor

The authors developed a new neutron-measuring instrument that was designed to measure a neutron personal dose equivalent, Hp(10). This instrument is composed of a conventional moderator-based neutron dose equivalent meter and a neutron shield made of borated polyethylene which covers a backward hemisphere to adjust the angular dependence. The whole design was determined on the basis of MCNP cal...
