Figure 3

Dose rate and Dose equivalent rate spectra. Dose rate (left) and dose equivalent rate (right) spectra for Polyethylene (lower plots) and Kevlar (upper plots). Spectra are plotted vs. Linear Energy Transfer (LET, in water). Each spectrum shows three traces: blue = reference measurements with no shield; green = measurements with 5 g/cm2 shield tiles; red = measurements with 10 g/cm2 shield tiles. The symbols of the elements of the most prominent peaks are indicated.
