Abstract
Buildup measurements in A-150 tissue equivalent plastic are reported for a p(66) Be(49) neutron beam. These measurements were taken in air and behind various materials to answer questions about skin-sparing, patient bolussing materials, recovery of skin-sparing and dosimetry in small radiobiological samples. The depth for Dmax [maximum dose] for this beam was 1.6 g/cm2. An algorithm for reproducing the measured dose buildup curves is presented.Keywords
