Making a novel method to obtain the required irradiation time in fast neutron radiation therapy of liver tissue
During radiotherapy by any radiation, it is always essential to stop absorbing the excess dose by a tissue. To better treat cancerous tissues and to make more precise irradiation for a cancerous tumor, there needs the accurate irradiation time to be estimated. First, the constituent materials of any of the existing organs in abdominal tissue are extracted and defined in the MCNPX code. Then, ev...
متن کاملStudy of radiation damage induced by 82MeV protons on multi-pixel Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes
Results from a study on the radiation hardness of multi-pixel Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APDs) are presented. Recently developed G-APDs from five manufacturers (Hamamatsu (Japan), CPTA/Photonique (Russia/Switzerland), Zecotek (Singapore), Pulsar (Russia) and FBK-IRST (Italy)) were exposed to 82MeV protons at fluences up to 10 protons/cm at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The G-APD’s main...

The variation of thermal and structural properties of 2-{[4-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino) phenylimino]methyl}phenol (PAM)Schiff base were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction techniques before and after fast neutron (1.050 and 1.740kGy), beta (11.01Gy) and gamma (453.0Gy) irradiations. Under fast neutron irradiation, the melting and decomposition enth...
متن کاملPhotoneutron Source for In-Hospital BNCT Treatment: feasibility study
Some recent studies in Italy have focused on the possibility of exploiting clinical high energy electron linear accelerators, normally used in photon radiotherapy, as photo-neutrons source for in-hospital neutron medical applications. In-Hospital photo-neutron radiotherapy extends the possibilities of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) to external treatment of diffused tumors when other metho...
متن کاملNeutron flux Measurement at Tapiro fast reactor for APD’s Irradiation fluence evaluation
The Avalanche Photodiodes (APD) were chosen as photon sensors for the barrel region of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter. The LHC will be a hard environment for what concerns the radiation levels in the detectors. The most relevant damage on APDs is caused by neutrons that produce an increase in the dark current of these devices. In the CMS-ECAL collaboration a big effort was indeed done to u...
