The aim of this study is to characterize the chemical transformation of a polymer resulting from irradiation by a 200 keV electron beam. Thermoplastic PU polyetherurethane material was used and irradiation was performed with applied electron fluences in the range of 1014–1017 electron cm−2 at 77 K.
The chemical changes have been observed by FTIR analysis of irradiated layers. A NH bond evolution study has allowed us to follow polymer degradation versus depth and fluence. The results have been compared to a simulation of electronic energy loss and to the energy spectrum of the generated electrons in the polymer using EGS4 code. 相似文献
A gamma ray generation facility was developed through laser Compton scattering on an electron beam storage ring, for the purpose of researching nuclear transmutation. Theoretical analysis on gamma ray yield and energy spectrum was performed, as well as EGS4 simulation code was employed to simulate the interaction of gamma ray and Ge detector. The acquired experimental results are in agreement with theory. 相似文献
Studies at the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy particularly in regard to cosmic ray detection and construction of the Muonic Cherenkov telescope at the University of Blagoevgrad indicate a need for the development of a theoretical model based on observed phenomena and a refinement of this for detection system optimisation. This was introduced in the EGS4 code system. The first simulations consecrate on a number of different geometries of the water tank in total reflection. The model was compared with experimental data involving a 60Co gamma source and the telescope. 相似文献
研究了能量在100到300 keV区间的低能宽幅电子束从真空引出到空气中的特性。利用EGS5程序模拟了电子束穿过不同厚度钛箔后,在空气中距离钛箔5~10 cm距离处的能量损失、束流损失和束流分布均匀性等。模拟结果显示,对于低能电子,钛箔厚度应该在10 μm左右为宜,其透射率与能量直接相关,在距离钛箔5 cm的位置,电子束的分布不均匀度低于±2%,优于工业应用±10%的标准(特殊情况下要求为5%),完全满足工业辐照要求。In order to investigate the characteristics of extracting low-energy electron beam from vacuum into air, EGS5 is used to simulate the energy loss, beam loss and spatial distribution uniformity at the irradiation position, which is 5~10 cm to titanium foil with different thickness. The simulation results show that the transmittance is directly related to the incent energy of low-energy electron. When the titanium foil thickness is 10 μm, the inhomogeneity about the energy beam spatial distribution is below 5% on the treatment plane 5 cm away from the titanium foil. And totally meet the industrial needs. 相似文献
A new Moxon–Rae detector configuration based on Si semiconductor detector was proposed in this paper. Three γ-ray sources, 137Cs, 60Co, and 24Na, were employed to make actual measurements using the new Moxon–Rae detector. The measured pulse height spectra and detection efficiencies were compared with the EGS4 simulated values. The results revealed that the proposed new configuration is indeed a successful method and specially a useful technique for higher energy γ-ray measurement. 相似文献
An intense slow positron beam using a 15 MeV LINAC (average current 1.25 × 1015 e−/s) at the Radiation and Photochemistry Group, Chemistry Division of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has been proposed and studied. Computer simulated results optimizing the positron yield and distribution of energy and angle show that a slow positron production at 1010 e+/s is possible. A proposed design of an intense slow positron beam with optimal conditions of incident electron, converter/moderator configurations, and extraction/transportation is presented. 相似文献
The EGS4 a Monte Carlo electron-photon transport simulation package together with a locally developed computer program “GCELL” has been used to simulate the transport of the gamma rays in Gammacell 220. An additional lead attenuator has been inserted in the chamber, has been included for those cases where lower dose rates were required.
For three cases of 0, 1.35 and 4.0 cm thickness of added lead attenuators, the gamma spectrum, and dose rate distribution inside the chamber have been determined. For the case of no attenuator present, the main shield around the source cage has been included in the simulation program and its albedo effects have been investigated.
The calculated dose rate distribution in the Gammacell chamber has been compared against measurements carried out with Fricke, PMMA and Gafchromic film dosimeters. 相似文献
