Computational study reports neutron kerma factors across 19 elements up to 30 MeV, highlighting standardized baseline values for radiation dosimetry.
Kerma factors for neutrons have been calculated from thermal neutron energies to 30 MeV. In addition to a point at 0.0253 eV, there are 116 contiguous energy bins extending from 0.026 eV to 30 MeV. Values are given for 19 elements or nuclides: H, ⁶ Li , ⁷ Li , B, C, N, O, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, and Fe. The chief source of nuclear data is the Evaluated Nuclear Data File ENDF/B-4. The basis of the calculations is discussed, and comparison is made with some other tabulations.
