Effective atomic numbers and electron densities of some human tissues and dosimetric materials for mean energies of various radiation sources relevant to radiotherapy and medical applications

Synthesis and thermoluminescence properties of SrAl 2 O 4 (EU) phosphor irradiated with cobalt-60, 6 MV and 16 MV photon beams

“…Also the effective mean energy of X-ray photons is approximately 1/3rd of the peak voltage applied. The equivalent mean energy of 6 MV X-ray photons is close to 1.5 MeV (Kurudirek, 2014). Similarly the 16 MV photons of X-rays have mean energy around at 5 MeV.…”

Studies on heavy charged particle interaction, water equivalence and Monte Carlo simulation in some gel dosimeters, water, human tissues and water phantoms

“…A similar method used in previous works was adopted for calculation of Z ef f and N e for heavy charged particles [21][22][23][24]. Briefly, a Z-wise interpolation procedure has been adopted to obtain Z ef f for heavy charged particles.…”

Farklı metotlar ile sürekli enerji aralığında toplam foton etkileşimi için farklı tipteki malzemelerin etkin atom numarası ve elektron yoğunluklarının hesaplanması

“…Generally, the all variations can be clearly explained by the Z dependence of total atomic cross sections thus effective atomic numbers as Z [4][5] for photoelectric absorption, Z for Compton scattering and Z 2 for pair production.…”
