Objective: Using Megavoltage photons generated by medical linear accelerator is a common modality for the treatment of malignant. The crucial problem for using photon beams >8MV is the photoneutron yields that increase the risk of secondary cancer that treated with high-energy photon beams. The contaminated neutrons produced in different components of the accelerator head and rely on many param...

Introduction: In radiation therapy with high-energy photon beams (E > 7 MeV) neutrons are generated mainly in LINACs head thorough (γ, n) interactions. These neutrons affect the shielding requirements in radiation therapy rooms. According to the protocol TG-34, photon absorbed dose of 10Gy can cause permanent damage to the pacemaker and the dose of 2Gy can make minor changes in...

medical linear accelerators are one of the most widespread methods for cancer treatment. despite their advantages, unwanted photoneutrons are produced by high energy linacs. this photoneutrons are as undesired doses to patients and a significant problem for radiation protection of the staffs and patients. photoneutrons radiological risk must be evaluated because of their high let and range.in o...

Neutron diffraction measurements have been carried out on a single crystal of the iron-based superconductor system SrFe1.92Ni0.08As2. Nitrogen gas sealed in the sample container was found to produce Bragg peaks over a limited range of temperature that were symmetrically positioned around the strongest magnetic Bragg peak in the system, giving the appearance of transition to an incommensurate ma...

Measurement of the fuel ion density ratio, nD/nT, is required for burning control in ITER. The measured nD/nT ratio must be fed back in real time. A neutron measurement system to measure nD/nT should be operable at high counting rate. The estimated number of emitted DT neutrons is 200 times higher than that of DD neutrons under the ITER standard operation conditions. A neutron measurement syste...

Background: Neutron contamination in our environment can cause harmful biological effects on human body. Therefore, many efforts have been made to construct a neutron dosimeter to estimate the received dose. Objective: To design a simple neutron dosimeter. Methods: The primary dosimeter had 3He as a spherical thermal neutron detector encircled by paraffin 10 cm in radius. Then, the paraffin sph...
