title: Proximity functions for electrons from 100 eV to 10 MeV.
abstract: The objective of this study is to provide a set of proximity functions for electrons from 100 eV to 10 MeV. Numerical results of differential proximity functions are given graphically. The complete data set is available electronically upon request from the authors. The results can serve as a convenient database for anyone performing microdosimetric calculations in radiation fields of electrons. For mixed fields of electrons, the proximity functions can easily be derived from the proximity functions of monoenergetic electrons presented here.
