Shielding Calculations for the SIS 100/300
نویسنده
چکیده
The planned new Heavy Ion Synchrotron SIS 100/300 for the FAIR Project will consist of two separate tunnels. In addition to the tunnel where the beam lines itself will be situated, there will be an additional tunnel, for maintenance and supply purposes. This maintenance tunnel is desired to be accessible for technical personnel also during beam operation. Therefore, from the radiation safety point of view, not only the activation of the soil and ground water surrounding the tunnels needs to be considered [1], but also the prompt dose rates resulting from the operation of the accelerator, especially in the maintenance tunnel. In order to estimate the dose rates, Monte Carlo calculations have been performed using the computer code FLUKA [2,3].

Shielding Designs for the future FAIR project
Introduction In December 2003 GSI was given the first step of approval by the Hesse Ministry for environment to build the new international accelerator facility for beams of ions and antiprotons [1]. This approval was passed after the assessment by the radiation protection experts TÜV [2]. In order to meet the requirements to build the facilities for the FAIR project [3] shielding calculations ...
متن کاملAn Ab initio and chemical shielding tensors calculations for Nucleotide 5’-Monophosphates in the Gas phase
Structural and magnetic properties of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides (CMP, UMP, dTMP, AMP, GMP, IMP) were studied at different levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory. These calculations were performed at the hartree-fock level and density functional B3LYP methods. Geometries were fully optimized by following Cs symmetry restrictions. The standard 6-31G** basis set which includes polari...
متن کاملNeutron deep-penetration calculations and shielding design of proton therapy accelerators
Proton therapy accelerators have become increasingly popular for cancer treatment in recent years. In Taiwan, the first proton treatment center equipped with a 235 MeV proton cyclotron in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital is ready for beam commissioning. Proton therapy accelerators in the energy range could potentially produce intense secondary neutrons, which must be carefully evaluated and ...
متن کاملShielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...
