MSGC test with fast neutrons
Results are presented from the exposure of a CMS performance prototype MSGC to a fast neutron beam having an average energy of 20 MeV and an intensity of 7 106 neutrons/mm2/s. A fluence equivalent to 3 years of LHC operation has been accumulated without damages to the detector. The stability of the MSGC operation in a heavily ionising particle flux is reported and the estimation of their produc...
متن کاملTrabecular bone changes induced by fast neutrons versus gamma rays in mice
Background: The trabecular bone changes in the tibia of C3H/HeN mice were measured 12 weeks after whole body irradiation with various doses of fast neutrons (0-2.4 Gy) or 137Cs-generated gamma-rays (0-6 Gy). Materials and Methods: Serum calcium, phosphorus, estradiol concentration and alkaline phosphatase activity were measured. Tibiae were anal...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of shielding parameters for fast neutrons in newly developed heavy concretes
Introduction: The role of radiotherapy as a part of cancer management increases every year around the world. Thus, Radiation protection in the design of radiotherapy rooms are of great importance. Materials and Methods: In present study using Monte Carlo method, MCNPX code, fourteen types of developed high density concretes with densities ranging from 2.45 ...
متن کاملSecondary neutrons in clinical proton radiotherapy: a charged issue.
Hospital-based proton facilities may represent a major advance in radiation therapy, in part because of excellent dose distributions around the tumor, and in part because of the potentially lower whole-body dose compared with photon radiotherapy. Most current proton beams are spread out to cover the tumor using beam scattering and collimation techniques (passive scattering); this will necessari...
متن کاملEffects of fast neutrons on the eye.
The study of 93 eyes receiving neutron irradiation establishes the character of the ophthalmic complications of neutron. Significant changes are produced in the eyelids, conjunctiva, and cornea, but the production of cataract is relatively unimportant. No reaction was seen after neutron treatment that had not already been seen after chi or gamma radiation. That the unavoidable damage is similar...
