Photoneutron intensity variation with field size around radiotherapy linear accelerator 18-MeV X-ray beam
In X-ray radiotherapy accelerators, neutrons are produced mainly by ( , n) reaction when high energy X-rays interact with high Z materials of the linear accelerator head. These materials include the lead (Pb) used as shielding in the collimator, tungsten (W) target used for the production of X-rays and iron (Fe) in the accelerator head. These unwanted neutrons contaminate the therapeutic beam a...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...
متن کاملPhotoneutron Spectrum at Pohang Neutron Facility Based on 100-mev Electron Linac
Pohang Neutron Facility (PNF) is a pulsed neutron facility based on the 100-MeV electron linear accelerator. It was constructed for nuclear data production in Korea, and it consists of an electron linear accelerator, a watercooled Ta target with a water moderator and a time-offlight path with an 11 m length. The 100-MeV electron linac uses a thermionic RF-gun, an alpha magnet, four quadrupole m...
متن کاملPhotoneutron Interrogation of Uranium Samples by a 4 MeV LINAC. A Feasibility Study
It is difficult to reveal smuggled U-bearing material by passive gamma-detection, because the weak radiation can easily be shielded. Neutrons, as penetrate shielding, represent a detection potential, by inducing fission in the nuclear material. A 4 MeV linear accelerator was used as a pulsed neutron source for active interrogation of U-bearing material. Produced in heavy water by bremsstrahlung...
متن کاملPFC / JA - 93 - 17 14 MeV Neutron Yields from D - T Operation of the MIT Cockcroft
As part of our fusion product-diagnostic development program, we have begun a series of experiments with 14 MeV neutrons generated in a Cockcroft-Walton accelerator. Two different detectors have been used to measure the neutron yield: a silicon SBD and a Cu foil. The energy of the emitted neutrons has been determined by using two spectrometers: the SBD and a 3 He proportional counter. The react...
