Radiation quality factor Q(L)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the radiation-physics subtree

ICRP 60 / NCRP quality factor mapping LET to biological effectiveness: Q(L) = 1 for L ≤ 10 keV/μm, Q(L) = 0.32·L − 2.2 for 10 < L < 100 keV/μm, Q(L) = 300/√L for L ≥ 100 keV/μm. Converts absorbed dose (Gy) into dose equivalent (Sv) for…
