Dosimetry at the Portuguese research reactor using thermoluminescence measurements and Monte Carlo calculations.
This work presents an extensive study on Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation and thermoluminescent (TL) dosimetry for characterising mixed radiation fields (neutrons and photons) occurring in nuclear reactors. The feasibility of these methods is investigated for radiation fields at various locations of the Portuguese Research Reactor (RPI). The performance of the approaches developed in ...
متن کاملThe dosimetry assessment of Varian Linear Accelerators of 6, 15 and 20 MV by Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: Monte Carlo method is often applied in radiation therapy as utilized in all the branches of science. An important requirement for successful radiotherapy is carefully examine the dose distribution specifications and decrease the difference between these features with experience to an acceptable level. In this study, the characteristics of 6, 15 and 20 MeV incident x-rays are prov...
متن کاملDosimetry, scattering theory, and Monte Carlo simulation
The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the physics of scattering theory, to define the dosimetric concept of linear energy transfer in terms of scattering theory, and to provide an introduction to the concepts underlying Monte Carlo simulations.
متن کاملThe Monte Carlo Method
The Monte Carlo method is often referred to as a ‘computer experiment’. One might think of this as a way of conveying the fact that the output of simulations is not an equation, as in conventional theory. Instead, numbers appear on the computer screen in somewhat the same way that numbers appear on a measuring device in the laboratory. Thus there is the implication that somehow simulations are ...
