[Neutron therapy in the G.D.R. II. Dose distribution near the surface (author's transl)]. / Neutronentherapie in der DDR II. Die Dosisverteilung in der Umgebung der Oberfläche

ABSTRACT

The knowledge of the dose near the skin is very important for the reaction of the skin. With a special ionization chamber measurements near the surface of the phantom were made. A slight build-up-effect was observed. In this case (average energy of 6,2 MeV) the maximum of dose is in the depth of 1,2 mm.
