Department 6.3In its report ICRU 95 the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) has proposed new quantities in radiation protection. The effects of a possible introduction of these quantities are currently being discussed internationally. Independently of this, some information on the subject is given here.
Conversion coefficients from the basic quantities (air kerma, absorbed dose and fluence) of the different types of radiation to the proposed quantities:
- Conversion coefficients for monoenergetic radiation for photons, electrons and neutrons: ICRU report 95
- Conversion coefficients for reference radiation qualities:
Photons: R. Behrens and T. Otto:
Conversion coefficients from total air kerma to the newly proposed ICRU/ICRP operational quantities for radiation protection for photon reference radiation qualities

Betas: R. Behrens:
Conversion coefficients from absorbed dose to tissue to the newly proposed ICRU/ICRP operational quantities for radiation protection for beta reference radiation qualities

- The Change of the quantities for photon and/or beta radiation are summarized in a lecture: a
PDF file and a video are available. The talk was originally presented at the 
IM2022 conference.
