[Neutron therapy in the G.D.R. II. Dose distribution near the surface (author's transl)]

The knowledge of the dose near the skin is very important for the reaction of the skin. With a special ionization chamber measurements near the surface of the phantom were made. A slight build-up-effect was observed. In this case (average energy of 6,2 MeV) the maximum of dose is in the depth of 1,2 mm.
