Abstract
This study aims for calculating a new set of the personal dose equivalent conversion coefficients H-p(d)/phi when d = 0.07, 3, and 10 mm, for mono-energetic electron beams ranged from 0.06 MeV to 50 MeV for H-p(0.07), from 0.7 MeV to 50 MeV for H-p(3) and from 2 MeV to 50 MeV for H-p(10), which has incident on ICRU slab phantom. Additionally, we have calculated the conversion coefficients of a dose to the lens eye of into a new cylindrical phantom of the ORAMED project. The cylindrical phantom was proposed for calculating the eye lens dose equivalent as a cylinder much better approximates the form of a head than a slab. The ICRU tissue of density of 1 g/cm(3) which is consists of 4-elemental has been used in slab and cylindrical phantoms. The calculations were carried out with EGSnrc code Monte Carlo (MC) and a new an analytical fit is applied to the data. Our results are found in a good agreement with those published by Veinot and Hertel (2012)), with a local difference less than 1.5%. We have concluded that new analytical fits provide a convenient approach for determining conversion coefficients for discrete incident such as MC.
