Providing solid angle formalism for skyshine calculations
We detail, derive and correct the technical use of the solid angle variable identified in formal guidance that relates skyshine calculations to dose-equivalent rate. We further recommend it for use with all National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and similar reports documented. In general, for beams of identical w...
متن کاملAccelerator boundary doses and skyshine.
Beginning this year, AEC contractors are being required to submit dose evaluations as low as 1.7 mrem per year to the surrounding public from their installations. This small incremental dose exists within the framework of a natural background of about 130 mrem per year. Some of the pitfalls in estimating these small doses, especially with regard to skyshine, are discussed. It is shown that, for...
متن کاملNeutron skyshine measurements at Fermilab.
Neutron skyshine has been a significant source of environmental radiation exposure at many high-energy proton accelerators. A particularly troublesome source of skyshine neutrons has existed at Fermilab during operation of the 400-GeV high-energy physics program. This paper reports on several measurements of this source made with a DePangher precision long counter at large distances. The spatia...
متن کاملPositivity Theorems for Solid-Angle Polynomials
For a lattice polytope P , define AP(t) as the sum of the solid angles of all the integer points in the dilate tP . Ehrhart and Macdonald proved that AP(t) is a polynomial in the positive integer variable t. We study the numerator polynomial of the solid-angle series ∑ t≥0 AP(t)z . In particular, we examine nonnegativity of its coefficients, monotonicity and unimodality questions, and study ext...
