A formulation of the concept of quality factor based on the microdosimetric quantity lineal energy, y, is described. Toward this end, functions--denoted Specific Quality Functions (SQF)--are defined such that (a) they can be determined directly from observation and (b) a number of them can be used toward setting, by consensus, the values of a microdosimetrically-based quality factor. The determination of SQFs is exemplified by correlating data on the yields of dicentric aberrations in human lymphocytes with measured and calculated microdosimetric distributions. The implications of this approach to problems of radiation protection are discussed.
描述了一种基于微剂量学量线性能量y的品质因数概念的公式。为此，定义了一些函数——称为特定品质函数（SQF）——使得（a）它们可以直接从观测中确定，并且（b）其中一些函数可用于通过共识设定基于微剂量学的品质因数的值。通过将人类淋巴细胞中双着丝粒畸变产率的数据与测量和计算的微剂量学分布相关联，举例说明了SQF的确定。讨论了这种方法对辐射防护问题的影响。
