Özet

Absorbed dose and stopping power of the target material are two important parameters for determining the radiation effects. In this work, the relationship between these two parameters has been investigated for electron beams incident on skin and muscle tissue. Absorbed dose was obtained by using the EGSnrc code and the stopping power values were calculated by considering the velocity-depended effective charge and mean excitation values. To obtain the relationship between absorbed dose and stopping power values, these parameters were graphed together and simple fitting functions have been obtained. The results obtained show that these parameters are linearly correlated with each other.
