The effect of source shield on landmine detection
Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested during the recent years. Neutron energy moderation, neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are nuclear-based methods used for landmine detection. The aim of this study is to use backscattered neutron for landmine detection. Materials ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Modelling of a Multiple-hole Collimator for High Energy Gamma-ray Imaging
To develop a second generation gamma-ray camera for industrial applications, various multiple-hole collimator designs that meet high-energy, high-intensity and far-eld imaging requirements have been studied. The collection of parallel holes each parallel to one another (parallel-hole, parallel collimator) is ineeective for imaging high energy far-eld sources, whereas a collimator with parallel ...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of a Position Sensitive Gamma Ray Detector
The Monte Carlo method was employed to obtain the response of a position sensitive gamma ray detector. The basic unit consists of a scintillator bar coupled to two photon detectors. Determination of the position of interaction is obtained from the ratio of the light intensity measured at each extremity of the bar. Association of two or more detectors of this type can be used to build a system w...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation for Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometry
The aerial measuring terrestrial gamma radiation from airborne platforms is a useful method for characterizing the radiation levels over large areas. Because of the advantage of Monte Carlo method, it is very suitable for simulation of gamma ray transport and interaction with media (soil, air, aircraft and detector), which offer alternative means of estimating detector response and calibration ...
