Abstract
Radiation environments of high energy particle accelerators present extremely complicated fields of mixed radiation. Such radiation may contain a large variety of elementary particles that differ in ability to cause radiation damage to biological tissues. The principal objective of radiation protection is to provide all the necessary physical parameters of the investigated radiation field that can be used to evaluate radiation risk to persons subjected to the radiation field. The International Commission for Radiological Protection has recommended that, at the present stage of knowledge of radiation effects on living organisms, the sum of the maximum values of dose equivalents due to all radiation components expresses the radiation risk. A review is given of the techniques used for estimating dose equivalent in a mixed radiation environment.
