Radiation Protection Dosimetry

Abstract:
Organ doses and effective dose have been estimated in the case of an anthropomorphic mathematical model exposed to monoenergetic narrow beams of various types of incident radiation (photons, electrons, protons) and energies. The target organs considered were right eye, thyroid and breast. Calculations have been carried out using the latest version of the Monte Carlo transport code FLUKA. The investigated energy range was extended from 5 MeV to 10 GeV. In the case of photons, incident energies in the region between 30 keV and 1 MeV were also considered. Preliminary results are presented.
