Abstract:
This work aims for calculating a new set of the personal dose equivalent conversion coefficients Hp(d)/Kair when d = 0.07, 3, and 10 mm, for monoenergetic photons beams ranged from 0.015 to 10 MeV, which have incident on ICRU slab phantom for Hp (0.07) and Hp (10) and cylindrical phantom for Hp (3). The new cylindrical phantom of the ORAMED project was proposed for calculating the eye lens dose equivalent as a cylinder much better approximates the form of a head than a slab. The calculations were carried out with MC and an analytical fit is applied to the data. Our results are found in a good agreement with those previously published, with a local difference less than 1.5%. We have concluded that new analytical fits provide a suitable method for determining conversion coefficients for discrete incident such as MC.
