Radiation Damage of Quartz Fibers
Quartz fibers are used in high energy physics experiments as the active medium in high radiation area calorimetry. Quartz fibers are also used in the transmission of optical signals. Even though quartz does not damage by moderate amounts of irradiation, the clad of the fibers and the protective coating (buffer) do damage reducing light transmission. Various types of quartz fibers have been irra...
متن کاملQuartz plate calorimeter prototype with wavelength shifting fibers
The quartz plate calorimeters are considered as hadronic calorimeter options for upgrading Large Hadron Collider experiments. Previous studies have shown that quartz can resist up to 12 MGy of proton irradiation. Using uniformly distributed wavelength shifting fibers embedded the quartz plates are shown to solve the problem of low visible light production on Cherenkov process. Here, we report t...
متن کاملGum Tragacanth Fibers Introducing Primitive GT Fibers (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this research, a method for producing gum tragacanth (GT) fibers is presented. Ribbon type GT of Astragalus Gummifer species were obtained from local production lands. The gum was treated with alkali to increase its process ability, and allowed to stand for a period of time to reach the proper viscosity and/or to "ripen". Samples with different ripening times were prepared and their viscosit...
متن کاملFABRICATION OF CARBON FIBERS FROM COMMERCIAL WET SPIN POLYACRYLONITRILE FIBERS
Carbon fibers are fabricated from different materials such as special polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, cellulose fibers and pitch. But PAN fibers are recognized as the most widely used precursor for the present-day manufacture of carbon fibers. The process of fabrication carbon fibers from special PAN fibers is composed of two steps including oxidative stabilization at low temperature and carbon...
متن کاملFrom quartz hazard to quartz risk: the coal mines revisited.
Following the classification of quartz as a human carcinogen by the IARC, many standard-setting committees are currently trying to convert this hazard into their national or EU standards. Since human data to set a safe exposure limit for quartz are limited, we hypothesized that lung burden data on quartz in coal miners' lungs after lifetime exposure could be used to set a non-carcinogenic lung ...
