Résumé
A tissue-equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) is a reference detector to measure microdosimetric quantities. A conventional spherical TEPC and a novel TEPC based on a ceramic thick gas electron multiplier (THGEM) foil were developed to carry out microdosimetric measurements of lineal energy spectra in monoenergetic and 252Cf/241Am-Be neutron radiation fields, and the absorbed dose values had been derived. In order to go further in radiobiology and therapy, the fluence to absorbed dose conversion coefficients in neutron fields were also determined. According to the dose distribution in lineal energy, the neutron relative biological effect (RBE) values were also calculated using an empirical procedure applying biological weighting functions.
