Photon doses in NPL standard neutron fields.
Standard neutron fields are invariably accompanied by a photon component due to the neutron-generating reactions and secondary neutron interactions in the surrounding environment. A set of energy-compensated Geiger-Müller (GM) tubes and electronic personal dosemeters (EPDs) have been used to measure the photon dose rates in a number of standard radionuclide and accelerator-based neutron fields....
متن کاملComment on ‘Evaluation of the primary frequency standard NPL-CsF1’∗
A recent evaluation of the accuracy of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) primary frequency standard NPL-CsF1 by K Szymaniec et al (2005 Metrologia 42 49–57) reported an overall frequency uncertainty of δν/ν0 = 1 × 10−15. This stated uncertainty includes a correction of a frequency bias of δν/ν0 = 8 × 10−16 ± 3 × 10−16 attributed by the authors to microwave leakage. We believe that the stat...
متن کاملNeutron scattering in magnetic fields
2014 The use of magnetic fields in neutron scattering experimentation is reviewed briefly. Two general areas of application can be distinguished. In one the field acts to change the properties of the scattering sample ; in the second the field acts on the neutron itself. Several examples are discussed. Precautions necessary for high precision polarized beam measurements are reviewed. Revue Phys...
متن کاملAssessment of Neutron Contamination Originating from the Presence of Wedge and Block in Photon Beam Radiotherapy
Background: One of the main causes of induction of secondary cancer in radiation therapy is neutron contamination received by patients during treatment.Objective: In the present study the impact of wedge and block on neutron contamination production is investigated. The evaluations are conducted for a 15 MV Siemens Primus linear accelerator. Methods: Simulations were performed using MCNPX Monte...
متن کاملNeutron EDM in Four Generation Standard Model
A fourth generation of quarks may provide sufficient CP violation for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We estimate the neutron electric dipole moment in the presence of the fourth generation, and find it would be dominated by the strange quark chromoelectric dipole moment, assuming it does not get wiped out by a Peccei-Quinn symmetry. With three loop analytical expression, 500 GeV heavy qu...
