| Description | Journal: Physics in Medicine & Biology Dosimetric properties of neutron beams produced by stopping 26, 35 and 45 MeV protons in beryllium and lithium have been measured. The effects of filtering the p-Be beam with 6 cm of polyethylene have been investigated. The tissue kerma rate in air exhibited an energy dependence of approximately $E^{3}$ and the rate for p-Be beams was approximately one-fifth of the rate for d-Be beams. The penetrability of the neutrons was significantly enhanced by the use of the filter, but with a 50% attenuation in tissue kerma rate. The tissue kerma rate for the p-Li beam was nearly the same as that for the p-Be beam. |
