The Scatteving of 10 and 14 MeV Neutrons
نویسنده
چکیده
The angular distributions of scattering of 10 and 14Mev neutrons by deuterons have been investigated using photographic emulsions. 1540 deuteron recoils entering the emulsion from a thin target of heavy wax placed in contact with its surface were measured. The results are shown to be in good agreement with the recent theoretical curves of Buckingham, Hubbard and 1VIassey. The errors to which the measurements are subject have been carefully considered and give a clear indication of the limitations of the photographic emulsion technique in an experiment of this nature.

This study proposes a method to estimate RBE of fast neutrons using Monte Carlo simulations. This approach is based on the combination of an atomic resolution DNA geometrical model and Monte Carlo simulations for tracking particles. Atomic positions were extracted from the Protein Data Bank. The GEANT4 code was used for tracking the secondary particles generated by fast neutrons during their in...

Introduction Use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. In this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. Materials and Methods I...

Introduction: Depth-dose distribution curve of protons in the matter has a maximum is called Bragg peak. Bragg peak of a monoenergetic proton beam is too narrow. The spread out Bragg peak should be created for full coverage of the tumor. The spread out Bragg peak is obtained in the depth of the tumor with superposition of the several Bragg peaks. The aim of this study was coverage of an eye tum...
