Results of measurements of central axis depth doses, off‐axis ratios, and wedge filter effects are presented for a p (66)Be(49) neutron beam. All measurements were made and are reported in tissue equivalent solution. Algorithms that reproduce the various measured characteristics of the beam are also discussed.
