      Purpose: The distribution of neutron ambient dose equivalent within the TrueBeam 10 MV photon chamber was investigated. Materials and Methods: The research used particle and heavy ion transport code system (PHITS) code and JENDL-5.0 to simulate the neutron ambient dose equivalent on and around TrueBeam’s head. The simulated results were compared with the measured results using CR-39 detectors when TrueBeam radiated 5000 monitor units of 10 MV photons with field sizes 20 cm × 20 cm and 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm. Results: Out of field size, the neutron ambient dose equivalents of the 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm field size are higher than those values of the 20 cm × 20 cm field size from 4% to 30%. The differences between the simulated value and the measured value of the neutron ambient dose equivalents at all points out of field size are smaller than 20%. Conclusion: The neutron ambient dose equivalents, simulated with PHITS and JENDL-5.0, are satisfied with the measured neutron ambient dose equivalent.
