X-Ray Dose Enhancement. Volume I. Summary Report.
Abstract
Dose profiles in silicon and polyethylene near gold have been calculated for x-ray energies of 10 to 2000 keV using the POEM Monte Carlo electron transport code. Results are presented in several formats: plots of relative dose (dose enhancement) versus photon energy for various distances from the interface, mean relative dose over an interface region versus photon energy for various region thicknesses, dose profiles (dose versus distance) for various photon energies, and photo-Compton current profiles for various photon energies. The computational data are presented in this continuous, functional representation rather than in the standard histogram representation.
