Air kerma to HP(3) conversion coefficients for photons from 10 keV to 10 MeV, calculated in a cylindrical phantom.
In the framework of the ORAMED project (Optimization of RAdiation protection for MEDical staff), funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme, different studies were aimed at improving the quality of radiation protection in interventional radiology and nuclear medicine. The main results of the project were presented during a final workshop held in Barcelona in January 2011, the proc...
متن کاملTritons at energies of 10 MeV to 1 TeV: conversion coefficients for fluence-to-absorbed dose, equivalent dose, effective dose and gray equivalent, calculated using Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNPX 2.7.C.
Conversion coefficients were calculated for fluence-to-absorbed dose, fluence-to-equivalent dose, fluence-to-effective dose and fluence-to-gray equivalent for isotropic exposure of an adult female and an adult male to tritons ((3)H(+)) in the energy range of 10 MeV to 1 TeV (0.01-1000 GeV). Coefficients were calculated using Monte Carlo transport code MCNPX 2.7.C and BodyBuilder™ 1.3 anthropomo...
متن کاملNeutron-induced fission cross section of 240Pu from 0.5 MeV to 3 MeV
240Pu has recently been pointed out by a sensitivity study of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to be one of the isotopes whose fission cross section lacks accuracy to meet the upcoming needs for the future generation of nuclear power plants (GEN-IV). In the High Priority Request List (HPRL) of the OECD, it is suggested that the knowled...
متن کاملNeutron cross-sections and kerma values for carbon, nitrogen and oxygen from 20 to 50 MeV.
The advent of high energy neutron radiotherapy will require the neutron cross-section data and kerma factors for elements of biomedical importance to be extended up to and possibly above 50 MeV. Nuclear model calculations have been employed to produce a set of neutron cross-sections for C, N and O from 20 to 50 MeV. The strategy employed involves the optical model fitting of experimental total ...
متن کاملQuasi - differential neutron scattering from 238 U from 0 . 5 to 20 MeV
The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Linear Accelerator was used to produce a pulsed neutron beam that was incident on a U scattering sample 30 m from the source. Eight liquid scintillator (EJ-301) proton recoil fast neutron detectors located at several angles surrounding the sample were positioned at a distance 0.5 m. Neutrons resulting from elastic scattering, inelastic scattering, and fissio...
