Measurement of High-Energy Neutrons at ISS by SEDA-AP-FIB
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of solar neutron detector (NEM) was launched by the space shuttle Endeavour on July 16th, 2009 and it began collecting data on August 25th, 2009 at the International Space Station (ISS). In this paper we introduce not only preliminary results obtained by the NEM-FIB detector but also a possible solar neutron detection in association with the M3.7 solar flare on March 7, 2011.

Space Environment Data Acquisition with the Kibo Exposed Facility on the International Space Station (ISS)
The Space Environment Data Acquisition equipment (SEDA), which was mounted on the Exposed Facility (EF) of the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM, also known as “Kibo”) on the International Space Station (ISS), was developed to measure the space environment along the orbit of the ISS. This payload module, called the SEDA-Attached Payload (AP), began to measure the space environment in August 2009....
متن کاملEstimation of plasma fibrinogen levels based on hemoglobin, base excess and Injury Severity Score upon emergency room admission
INTRODUCTION Fibrinogen plays a key role in hemostasis and is the first coagulation factor to reach critical levels in massively bleeding trauma patients. Consequently, rapid estimation of plasma fibrinogen (FIB) is essential upon emergency room (ER) admission, but is not part of routine coagulation monitoring in many centers. We investigated the predictive ability of the laboratory parameters ...

The aim of the study was to investigate the contribution of secondary particles (mainly neutrons) in producing radiation damage to electronic devices and to astronaut-dose onboard of the International Space Station (ISS). Especially: • To optimize solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) assemblies, have been used earlier for neutron dosimetry around nuclear facilities [1,2], for space dosime...
متن کاملEvaluation of the dose and flux of secondary particles in the lung tissue in breast proton therapy using the Monte Carlo simulation code
Unlike proton therapy, conventional radiation therapy directs X-rays not only at the tumor but also unavoidably at nearby healthy tissue. Protons deliver radiation to tumor tissue while the healthy structures will be spared during proton therapy. When protons travel through matter, secondary particles like neutrons and photons are produced. It is believed that the secondary dose can lead to sec...

In last two decades the optimal neutron energy for the treatment of deep seated tumors in boron neutron capture therapy in view of neutron physics and chemical compounds of boron carrier has been under thorough study. Although neutron absorption cross section of boron is high (3836b), the treatment of deep seated tumors such as gliobelastoma multiform (GBM) requires beam of neutrons of higher ...
