An investigation of neutron direct damages at energies of 0.1-2 MeV on the DNA molecules with atomic structure deduced using Geant4 toolkit
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...
متن کاملOn the Utility of an In-core Fast Neutron Generator
Fast neutrons are useful for activation analysis of several light elements. For example, oxygen analyses are routinely made in our reactor laboratory and elsewhere by the 160(n, p)]6N reaction. The threshold for this reaction is over 10 MeV. Napier et al. ~) have described a device which was intended to convert thermal neutrons into 14 MeV neutrons by the reaction sequence 6Li(n, o~)3H ... 2H(3...
متن کاملNovel Technologies and Theoretical Models in Radiation Therapy of Cancer Patients Using 6.3 MeV Fast Neutrons Produced by U-120 Cyclotron
The analysis of clinical use of neutron therapy with 6 MeV fast neutrons compared to conventional radiation therapy was carried out. The experience of using neutron and mixed neutron and photon therapy in patients with different radio-resistant malignant tumors shows the necessity of further studies and development of the novel approaches to densely-ionizing radiation. The results of dosimetry ...
متن کاملبهینهسازی پاسخ دزیمتری نوترون در بازه انرژی حرارتی و سریع برای آشکارساز دیودی
During the last few years, real time gamma and neutron dosimeters have been developed and semiconductor diodes are frequently used in these dosimeters. Semiconductor diodes are used to charged particle detection. For sensitizing the detector to neutrons, a converter layer is contacted on the front surfaces of them. Incident neutrons interact with the converter and produce charged particles that...
متن کاملExperimental and Monte Carlo studies on the response of CR-39 detectors to Am-Be neutron spectrum
Background: The Poly-Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (PADC) detector is of particular interest for development of a fast neutron dosimeter. Fast neutrons interact with the constituents of the CR-39 detector and produce H, C and O recoils, as well as (n, α) reaction. These neutron- induced charged particles contribute towards the response of CR-39 detectors. Material and Methods: Electrochemical...
