In a previous paper, conversion coefficients for the personal dose equivalent, H(p)(d), for photons were reported. This note reports values for electrons calculated using similar techniques. The personal dose equivalent is the quantity used to approximate the protection quantity effective dose when performing personal dosemeter calibrations and in practice the personal dose equivalent is determined using a 30×30×15 cm slab-type phantom. Conversion coefficients to 1 GeV have been calculated for H(p)(10), H(p)(3) and H(p)(0.07) in the recommended slab phantom. Although the conversion coefficients were determined for discrete incident energies, analytical fits of the conversion coefficients over the energy range are provided using a similar formulation as in the photon results previously reported. The conversion coefficients for the personal dose equivalent are compared with the appropriate protection quantity, calculated according to the recommendations of the latest International Commission on Radiological Protection guidance. Effects of eyewear on H(p)(3) are also discussed.
在之前的一篇论文中，报告了光子的个人剂量当量H(p)(d)的转换系数。本说明报告了使用类似技术计算出的电子的值。个人剂量当量是在进行个人剂量计校准以及在实际操作中用于近似防护量有效剂量的量，实际中个人剂量当量是使用30×30×15 cm平板型体模来确定的。已针对推荐平板型体模中的H(p)(10)、H(p)(3)和H(p)(0.07)计算了到1 GeV的转换系数。尽管转换系数是针对离散的入射能量确定的，但使用与之前报告的光子结果中类似的公式提供了能量范围内转换系数的解析拟合。将个人剂量当量的转换系数与根据最新国际放射防护委员会指南的建议计算出的适当防护量进行了比较。还讨论了眼镜对H(p)(3)的影响。
