w_R(α) = 20: 1 Gy α absorbed ⇒ 20 Sv equivalent

Layer 1 — Physicsin the medical-physics subtree

Sympy-exact symbolic witness of the ICRP 103 alpha-particle radiation-weighting factor w_R = 20 applied to a 1 Gy absorbed-dose scenario. Setup: alpha particles (helium-4 nuclei emitted in nuclear α-decay such as ²²⁶Ra → ²²²Rn + α,…
