Development and test of a GEM-based TEPC for neutron protection dosimetry.
A novel tissue-equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) based on a gas electron multiplier (GEM) for measuring H*(10) for neutrons was designed and constructed. The pulse height spectra (PHS) of two different neutron sources (a 252Cf source and a AmBe source) were measured using the new TEPC. The measurements were made with the TEPC filled with two different gases (10P gas and a propane-based tis...
متن کاملDesign and simulation of a GEM-based TEPC as a neutron REM meter.
A new plate-like tissue equivalent proportional counter (TEPC) based on the gas electron multiplier (GEM) is being developed for use as a neutron rem meter. The advantage of a plate-like TEPC over a conventional spherical TEPC is that several of the plate-like TEPCs can be stacked together as one unit to increase sensitivity to neutrons. A GEM-based TEPC consists of four layers of materials in ...
متن کاملNeutron dosimetry
R É S U M É En dosimétrie des neutrons, les situations pratiques rencontrées couvrent un large domaine d'énergie s'étendant sur plus de 10 décades. En outre, les grandeurs dosimétriques utilisées en radioprotection ne sont pas directement accessibles à la mesure. Ce dernier point est principalement dû à la variation de la "qualité" du rayonnement neutronique, exprimé au moyen des facteurs de po...
متن کاملOptimised BNCT facility based on a compact D-D neutron generator
Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a very promising treatment for patients suffering gliobastoma multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer, where conventional radiation therapies fail. Thermal neutrons are suitable for the direct treatment of cancers which are located at near-tissue-surface deep-seated tumors need harder, epithermal neutron energy spectra. Materials and Me...
متن کاملNeutron Dosimetry with Ion Chamber-Based DIS System
INTRODUCTION A new type of personal dosimeter has been developed by RADOS Technology Oy. This system is based on a novel detector type, an ionisation chamber with so-called Direct Ion Storage (DIS). Ionisation chambers are sensitive to both neutrons and photons. Therefore, the application of the DIS principle to neutron dosimetry requires a double-chamber system for separating photon from neutr...
