• In this paper, using a spherical Tissue-Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPC), a new correlation between the ambient dose equivalent for pure neutron spectra H∗(10) and microdosimetric quantities is proposed. A fitting regression built upon a learning base of 272 miscellaneous spectra allows to predict this operational quantity. Data to build this predictive model are drawn from MCNP6.1 simulations. This new model reveals a satisfactory accuracy in the prediction with, in majority, discrepancies within 5% for common spectra with a mean energy ranging over 50 keV to 14 MeV. These observations could offer the prospect to use the TEPC as reference device for measuring H∗(10), in the covered range of spectra.
