Abstract
Two alternative formulations of Q(L) are analysed with regard to the mean quality factor for neutrons, protons, alpha particles and heavy ions: the formulation discussed by Dennis and Dunster and the suggestion of the authors. The latter fulfills the new ICRP recommendation of Q = 20 for neutrons while changing the current NCRP-ICRP formulation of Q(L) as little as possible.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
