Calculations evaluate dose equivalents of monoenergetic electrons in the ICRU sphere, suggesting practical average values for use.
Dose equivalents per unit of fluence at 0,07 mm, 10 mm and maximum dose equivalent per unit fluence along the principal axis of the ICRU sphere have been calculated by the FLUKA Monte Carlo code for broad parallel beam of monoenergetic electrons incident normel to the surface. Calculations were performed for the kinetic energy ranging from 70 keV to 10 GeV. The results are compared with other published calculations, whenever available. In the energy range where dose equivalents are almost constant, suitable average values are suggested to be used for practical purposes.
