The Personnel Protection System (PPS) at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory is summarized and reviewed from the radiation safety point of view. The PPS, which is designed to protect people from radiation exposure to beam operation, consists of the Access Control System (ACS) and the Beam Containment System (BCS). The ACS prevents people from being exposed to the very high radiation l...

The SPEAR3 storage ring at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) is an upgrade of the existing SPEAR2 ring to a 3-generation storage ring with beam parameters of 3 GeV of electron beam energy, 18 nm-radian emittance and up to 500 mA of circulating current. While the existing injector will not be changed, the 234-m-circumference SPEAR2 ring components will be completely replaced w...
متن کاملRadiation protection at synchrotron radiation facilities.
A synchrotron radiation (SR) facility typically consists of an injector, a storage ring, and SR beamlines. The latter two features are unique to SR facilities, when compared to other types of accelerator facilities. The SR facilities have the characteristics of low injection beam power, but high stored beam power. The storage ring is generally above ground with people occupying the experimental...

متن کاملAssessment of polymer composite reinforced with nanomaterial against ionizing radiation
Introduction: Unwanted exposure of ionizing radiation may result in carcinogenesis, cell mutations, and organ failure. High-atomic number elements such as lead, tungsten, bismuth have been traditionally used for radiation protection. Theoretical and practical studies have shown that a variety of shielding materials e.g. polymer composites (PCs) can be used for attenuation of th...
