Use of conversion coefficients

Once the fluence spectrum Φ(ε) (cm^–2) is known (by experimental measurements or through calculations) the effective dose E can be calculated using the following expression:

E = ∫ f_E(ε) · Φ(ε) · d(ε)

(6)

and the ambient dose equivalent can be calculated in a similar way:

H^* = ∫ f_H^*(ε) · Φ(ε) · d(ε)

(7)

When using these sets of conversion coefficients for calculations, you should cite paper [22].
