Abstract

In order to contribute to the interpretation of radiobiological data obtained when thin samples of tissue are exposed to neutrons, the absorbed dose distribution as a function of LET has been calculated for monoenergetic neutrons with energies between 0.025eV and 10 MeV. From the results obtained the dose distribution for neutrons with a complex spectrum may be easily calculated.
