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...

tac (time to amplitude convertor) is one of the most important time measurement instrumentswhich has great significance in many fields of science, especially radiation physics. a tac unit has beendesigned based on the start-stop analog method and nim (nuclear instrument modules) standards. afterdesigning the circuit, it was simulated by pspice software and constructed by discrete and integrated...

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...

We perform an extensive study of Sr_{3}Cr_{2}O_{7}, the n=2 member of the Ruddlesden-Popper Sr_{n+1}Cr_{n}O_{3n+1} system. An antiferromagnetic ordering is clearly visible in the magnetization and the specific heat, which yields a huge transition entropy, Rln(6). By neutron diffraction as a function of temperature we have determined the antiferromagnetic structure that coincides with the one ob...

The commensurate and incommensurate magnetic structures of the magnetoelectric system YMn2O5, as determined from neutron diffraction, were found to be spin-density waves lacking a global center of symmetry. We propose a model, based on a simple magnetoelastic coupling to the lattice, which enables us to predict the polarization based entirely on the observed magnetic structure. Our data accurat...
