Radiation Damage Effects

Radiation damage is an important issue for the particle detectors operated in a hostile environment where radiations from various sources are expected. This is particularly important for high energy physics detectors designed for the energy and intensity frontiers. This chapter describes the radiation damage effects in scintillating crystals, including the scintillation-mechanism damage, the ra...

RADiATiON DAMAGE TO MATERIALS

OBJECTIVES: After completing this module you will be able to: Explain why ionizing radiation has little effect on metals and their mechanical properties. but creates significant damage in non-metals. 4.2 a) Describe the damage created in metals by fast neutrons. b) Explain how this damage affects: strength, hardness and ductility. 4.3 Explain why elevated operating temperatures reduce the effec...

Radiation damage tolerant nanomaterials

The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. Designing a material from the atomic level to achieve a tailored response in extreme conditions is a grand challenge in materials research. Nanostructured metals and composites provide a path to this goal because they contain interfaces that attract, absorb and annihilate point...
