Abstract
Hydrogen kerma factors and their uncertainties are deduced on an experiment al basis, starting from our previously measured differential cross sections completed with available data from the literature, in the incident neutron energy range 25 to 75 MeV. The deduced experimental kerma factors are comp ared with theoretical predictions. A simple to use parametrization of the h ydrogen kerma factor values in the incident neutron energy range 0.3 to 100 MeV is also proposed.
