Neutron dose equivalent and neutron spectra in tissue for clinical linacs operating at 15, 18 and 20 MV

In this work, the dose equivalent due to photoneutrons and the neutron spectra in tissue was calculated for various linacs (Varian Clinac 2100C, Elekta Inor, Elekta SL25 and Siemens Mevatron KDS) operating at energies between 15 and 20 MV, using the Monte Carlo code MCNPX (v. 2.5). The dose equivale...
