Cross-sectional Presentation and Basic Operational Principles of 3MV Van de Graaff Accelerator at Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka

چکیده
In 1964, a positive ion horizontal type Van de Graaff accelerator (KN3000) was installed at Atomic Energy Center, Dhaka (AECD). This accelerator was manufactured by the High Voltage Engineering Corporation, Burlington, Mass., USA. Van de Graaff accelerator consists of a number of operating parts related each other. This accelerator can produce and accelerate 3 MeV proton beam using Hydrogen, Helium, and Deuterium ion source gas. Ion Beam Analytical (IBA) techniques Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Proton Induced Gamma Emission (PIGE) are used for data acquisition.

In this paper design and simulation of an optimized accelerator tube is presented for the production of light charged particles up to energy of 2 MeV. Geometry of the accelerator tube electrodes was simulated based on the Van De Graaff accelerator tubes of Atomic Energy Organization by SIMION 7.0, Virtual Device and SIMION Toolkit codes. In accelerator tube, the extracted ion beam from the ion ...
متن کاملProton Induced Gamma Emission Method with the 3 mv van de Graaff Accelerator
Proton induced gamma emission (PlGE) method has been developed at the Accelerator Laboratory of Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka (AECD) for analyzing low Z elements in the range of 3 to 15. With a view to exploiting the potential of PIGE technique as a tool for practical applications, attempts have been made to find the experimental evidence for its capability and scope. Gamma ray yields from PIGE e...

Introduction: Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation due to medical activities (both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures) has increased sharply in recent years. Among the occupationally exposed workers in these fields, those most affected by this increased exposure to ionizing radiation are nuclear medicine workers. In this study, annual average effective dose, annual collective effectiv...

متن کاملDiagnosis of dynamitron accelerator faults through the observation of narrow nuclear resonances
2014 Narrow nuclear resonances, initially used to calibrate the energy of the Birmingham Radiation Centre 3MV Dynamitron, have proved useful in discovering and identifying accelerator fault conditions. Short-term energy stability (over e few minutes) of a few tens of eV is common. However, variations of many kV occur for several days before the failure of a thermionic rectifier. The beam energy...
