Neutron interactions with biological tissue. Progress report, 1992--1993
The first area of research focuses on track structure effects in neutron microdosimetry and nanodosimetry. This is an investigation of the effect of proton energy-loss straggling and the associated transport of energy by secondary electrons on neutron event-size distributions in small sites. Secondly, energy deposition spectra and their moments for fast neutrons are investigated. Using calculated charged particle initial spectra and slowing-down spectra the authors can calculate the energy deposition in spherical cavities. Lastly, an attempt was made to study the relation of neutron energy deposition calculations to biology and biophysical models.
