Influence of neutron collimation on the energy deposition in a tissue equivalent sphere.
The influence of neutron collimation on the shape of energy deposition spectra was investigated using a spherical walled proportional counter. Experimental dose averaged lineal energies were obtained and compared with theoretical values. The fractions of total absorbed dose corresponding to various intervals of lineal energies were also deduced from the measured distributions.
