Martian Residents: Mass Media and Ramsar High Background Radiation Areas
Considering current controversies regarding the health effects of low doses of ionizing radiation, study of the high background radiation areas such as Ramsar, Iran can help scientists better evaluate the validity of linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis. Ramsar is a coastal city in northern Iran with some areas known to have the highest levels of natural background radiation in the world. The m...
متن کاملA Glance at the Errors of Some Studies on the Health Effects of High Background Natural Radiation Areas
There is no place on the Earth, the planet we live on, where the natural background radiation level is zero. Since the birth and even in our fetal stage, we have been exposed to different sources of natural radiation. Life, in fact, evolved in a radiation environment that was much more harsh than today. Earth serves as a source of terrestrial radiation. Uranium, thorium, and radium are among th...
متن کاملTransition radiation detectors for energy measurements at high Lorentz factors
The characteristic dependence of the intensity of transition radiation (TR) on the Lorentz factor g 1⁄4 E=mc of a primary particle is key to a number of practical applications. In particular, one may use TR detectors for energy measurements of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei in a region where alternate techniques are difficult to apply. However, a serious constraint can be the saturation of the TR yiel...
متن کاملReactor Power Distribution Calculation in Research Reactors Using MCNP
In reactor calculations, a detailed 3-D power density distribution is required for core optimization studies and safety analyses. The general Monte Carlo based neutral particle transport tool, MCNP [1], has the capability to obtain detailed power density distribution in a reactor through its criticality calculation mode (KCODE mode). However, there is no standard tally type in MCNP that is able...
متن کاملNonlinearity Measurements of High-Power Laser Detectors at NIST
We briefly explain the fundamentals of detector nonlinearity applicable to both electrical and optical nonlinearity measurements. We specifically discuss the attenuation method for optical nonlinearity measurement that the NIST system is based upon, and we review the possible sources of nonlinearity inherent to thermal detectors used with high-power lasers. We also describe, in detail, the NIST...
