Abstract in Spanish
Se realizó la calibración de una cadena de microdosimetría experimental, a partir de espectros mixtos γ+n, en un tamaño de sitio de 1,7μm emulado por medio de un detector proporcional de tejido equivalente Far West Technology modelo LET-2. Se registraron espectros microdosimétricos de fuentes selladas γ de 241"Am, 60"Co y 137"Cs, una fuente de neutrones de Am-Be y del haz clínico B2 del RA6, en un rango de energía lineal de 1,4 a 203 keV/μm; obteniendo las correspondientes distribuciones 𝑦𝑓(𝑦) 𝑣𝑠 log (𝑦) y 𝑦𝑑(𝑦) 𝑣𝑠 log (𝑦).
Abstract in English
Calibration of an experimental microdosimetry chain was realized; from γ + n mixed spectra and at a site size of 1.7 μm, emulated using a Far West Technology equivalent tissue proportional detector, model LET-2. Microdosimetric spectra from γ-sealed sources of 241"Am, 60"Co and 137"Cs, a neutron source of Am-Be and clinical beam B2 of RA6 were recorded in a linear energy range of 1.4 to 203 keV/μm; obtaining the corresponding distributions 𝑦𝑓 (𝑦) 𝑣𝑠 log (𝑦) and 𝑦𝑑 (𝑦) 𝑣𝑠 log (𝑦).
