A model of REM-2-type chamber was modeled with MCNPX code to study the dose-response to monoenergetic neutrons in wide energy range from thermal to 20 MeV for various compositions of gas in the chamber. The energy dependence of the total dose absorbed in the fi lling gas was compared with the energy dependence of ambient absorbed dose D*(10) and with experimental data. The results of the studies will be useful for designing new, improved generation of recombination chambers.

Dosimetric characterization of therapy beams for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) involves determination of dose components and among them the “nitrogen” dose due to protons generated by neutron capture on 14N. In this work, investigations were carried out using a graphite recombination chamber in order to determine the 14N capture, gamma, and fast neutron dose components. The separation of the dose components is based on differences in the shape of the saturation curve, depending on the LET spectrum of the investigated radiation. The measurements were performed in reference radiation fields at the Institute of Atomic Energy at Świerk and at a reactor beam of the INP Řež (the Czech Republic). The gamma component was determined with an accuracy of about 5%, while the variations in its value could be monitored with an accuracy of about 0.5%. Relative changes in the beam components (thermal/fast neutrons) could be detected on line with an accuracy of about 5%. It was shown that the chamber with tissue-equivalent cups could be used for the determination of the 14N capture dose at different depths in tissue.
