Use this simple atomic physics calculator to calculate equivalent dose absorbed by tissue for radiological protection online.
| Radiation | Energy | WR (formerly Q) |
|---|---|---|
| protons, charged pions | 2 | |
| alpha particles,Nuclear fission products,heavy nuclei | 20 | |
| x-rays, gamma rays,beta particles, muons | 1 | |
| neutrons | < 1 MeV | 2.5 + 18.2e−[ln(E)]²/6 |
| 1 MeV - 50 MeV | 5.0 + 17.0e−[ln(2*E)]²/6 | |
| >50 MeV | 2.5 + 3.25e−[ln(0.04*E)]²/6 |
Formula:
HT = D × Q
where,HT - is the equivalent dose absorbed by tissue T
D - is the absorbed dose in tissue T by radiation type R
WR or D - is the radiation weighting factor defined by ICRP regulation
