Abstract
Quality factors and fluence-to-ambient and fluence-to-personal-dose eq uivalent conversion for neutrons have been recalculated for neutrons w ith energies ranging from thermal to 20 MeV. The new calculations are based on the recommendations given in ICRU Publication 60 for the qual ity factor and on stopping power data for protons and alpha particles as recommended in the ICRU Report 49.
