Abstract
Considers the recoil protons and alpha particles from (n, alpha ) events in tissue and bone, assuming no single functional form for the range energy relationship and taking into account not only the variation of stopping powers of the protons and alphas along their tracks but also their variation from one medium to another. The heavy recoil contribution is included to obtain the total dose distribution. In addition, an estimate is made of the ratio of survival probabilities of a colony of cells in the region just under the bone and in the equilibrium region. The results are presented for a 14 MeV neutron beam.
