A proposed method of calculating displacement dose rates

A simple procedure is proposed for calculating the number of atomic displacements produced in a damage cascade by a primary knock-on atom of known energy. The formulae have been chosen to give results in close accord with recent computer simulations of radiation damage phenomena. The proposed new st...

Description
Summary:A simple procedure is proposed for calculating the number of atomic displacements produced in a damage cascade by a primary knock-on atom of known energy. The formulae have been chosen to give results in close accord with recent computer simulations of radiation damage phenomena. The proposed new standard is compared with other empirical formulae for estimating the number of atomic displacements in a cascade.
