Abstract
The set of Kinetic Energy Released in Matter (KERMA) values for H, C, N and O presented were based on 2 sets of computer calculations. One included neutron energies from 20-80 MeV and used the Intranuclear Cascade plus Evaporation (ICE) models. The 2nd set included neutron energies from 10-20 MeV and used The Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF/B-V) for particle species and numbers, with a modified Evaporation model for the particle energies. The 10-20 MeV ENDF calculations, which agreed with values calculated by Caswell and Coyne, were performed to allow normalization of the 20-80 MeV ICE calculations at 20 MeV. Values for ICRU muscle tissue and Shonka A-150 plastic are included.
