Interaction of Neutrons and Secondary Charged Particles with Tissue: Secondary Particle Spectra
Abstract
Theoretical calculations have been made of the secondary particle spectra for p, d, α, ${}^{9}{\rm Be},{}^{11}{\rm B},{}^{12,13,14}{\rm C},{}^{14,16}{\rm N}$ , and16 O produced by interactions of 1- and 14-MeV neutrons with a four-element tissue containing the elements H, C, N, O. Detailed neutron cross-section data has been used in the calculation. Both initial spectra of the secondary particles as produced by nuclear reactions and the equilibrium spectra produced by particles slowing down are determined. This work is the first step in development of a quantitative description of the physical stage in the action of neutron radiation on biological materials. The spectra are input information for energy deposition studies for neutron microdosimetry and for models of the biological action of neutron radiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
