Investigation of the dose distribution in the HESR tunnel and surrounding facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The HESR facility will be built in the frame of the FAIR project. For the reason of safety radiation fields have to be considered for the building design. Radiation produced by lost proton and antiproton beams can be dangerous for personnel and equipment. Thus a beam line, where those losses can appear, must be properly shielded by concrete, soil, etc. A FLUKA [1] simulation was done to estimate the level of effective dose around the accelerator tunnel. A main task of it was to check whether the shielding is effective in the sense of radioprotection.

Investigation of tumor motion influence on applied dose distribution in conventional proton therapy vs. IMPT a 4D Monte Carlo simulation study
Background: in radiation treatment of moving targets located in thorax region of patient body, the delivered dose does not match with the planned treatment, resulting in some over and under dosage in the tumor volume, as a function of motion magnitude and frequency. Several efforts have been done to investigate the target motion effects on dose distribution in the target and surrounding normal ...
متن کاملAssessment of Soil cohesion of Soils on Tunnel Excavation
Excess pore pressure under seismic loadings has always been a main concern in geotechnical engineering practices. Undergoing the phenomenon in a soil can cause the effective stress and hence the shear strength of the soil to decrease considerably and large deformations happen in the area. Generally, increasing the pore pressure occurs under the undrained condition. If it can be formed the drain...

The rock masses in a construction site of underground cavern are generally not continuous, due to the presence of discontinuities, such as bedding, joints, faults, and fractures. The performance of an underground cavern is principally ruled by the mechanical behaviors of the discontinuities in the vicinity of the cavern. During underground excavation, many surrounding rock failures have close r...

Extensive wind tunnel tests are conducted to evaluate surface pressure distribution of a semi span swept wing. The wing section has a laminar flow airfoil similar to NACA 6-series airfoils. The investigations are conducted at various speeds and angles of attack. Surface pressure distribution over the wing upper surface is measured for both chordwise and spanwise sections. Statistical analyses a...
متن کاملAssessment of the Drain Conditions on Variations of the Pore Pressure in Surrounding Soil of the Tunnel
Excess pore pressure under seismic loadings has always been a main concern in geotechnical engineering practices. The phenomenon in soil can cause an effective stress and hence cause the shear strength of the soil to decrease considerably and large deformations to occur in the area. Generally, increases in pore pressure occur in un-drained conditions. If it is formed, its consequences decrease ...
