Beta-particle backscatter factors and energy-absorption scaling factors for use with dose-point kernels

Creator:

Mangini, Colby D.

Abstract:

'Hot particle' skin dosimetry calculations are commonly performed using homogeneous dose-point kernels (DPK) in conjunction with scaling and backscatter models to account for non-homogeneous geometries. A new scaling model for determining the actual DPK for beta-particles transmitted by a high-Z source material has been developed. The model is based on...
