Bonner sphere spectrometer with TLDs pairs has been utilized to measure the neutron spectrum 100 cm from isocenter of a 18
MV LINAC, simultaneously the ambient dose equivalent due to neutrons and photons was measured in the control room area with
neutron and gamma-ray area monitors. Measurements were carried out when the LINAC was delivering a dose of 600 MU at the isocentre
that was located at 5 cm depth of a head phantom. Undesired neutron field in the treatment room produce activation reactions
with nuclei in different materials of LINAC, couch, air, and phantom. To determine the dose due to decay of activation nuclei
the ambient dose due to gamma-rays was measured inside the treatment room immediately after dose was delivered. Measured spectrum
has two peaks, one between 0.1–1 MeV and other in the thermal region, the ambient dose equivalent in the control room are
3.1 and 0.93 μSv h−1 for photons and neutrons, respectively. In the treatment room the ambient dose equivalent due to photons produced during
decay of activation nuclei varies from 6 to 26.1 μSv h−1. 相似文献

High energy medical linear accelerators (>10 MV) are increasingly used in radiotherapy. At such high photon energies neutron
production via photonuclear reactions in the heavy elements which compose the linac head is inevitable. Neutrons from linacs
can contribute to an additional dose to staff, patients and the general public. Our intention is two-fold; to provide shielding
against the neutron contamination and to establish the depthdose curve of thermal neutrons within human tissue, with an aim
to utilise linacs in boron neuron capture therapy (BNCT). In our studies neutron measurements were undertaken, with a Varian
Clinac 2100C/D linear accelerator operating at 15 MV nominal energy, by irradiating 18 cm thick 30×30 cm2 block of tissue equivalent material. Measurements were taken using indium and aluminum activation foil at the centre of the
block. Our results show that by leaving the linac jaws open neutron production is increased compared to the case when these
are shut, for one minute exposure at 400MU. In this work we present a comparison between our results and existing literature
and attempt to explore some sharp contrasts. 相似文献

Photoneutron contamination in the output of Varian Clinac 2100C medical linear accelerator (LINAC) operated at 15 MV photon
beam energy has been investigated using bubble detectors. Photoneutrons are produced from the photo-disintegration reaction
of photons with materials of the head components with threshold energy of approximately 8 MeV. Measurements were conducted
in the patient plane at 100 cm source-to-detector distance on beam axis and at stipulated distances outside the irradiated
field for 5×5 cm2 to 40×40 cm2 field sizes for in-air and 5×5 cm2 to 20×20 cm2 for water phantom measurements. Neutron dose equivalent of 1.57±0.10 mSv·Gy−1 was measured for 10×10 cm2 field size for in-air. For in phantom, neutron dose equivalent of 1.42 mSv·Gy−1 was measured for 10×10 cm2 field size on the beam axis at a depth of 1 cm but independent of field size at depth >5 cm. 相似文献

The neutron flux distribution around the disk-shaped sources of accelerator type fast neutron generators has been calculated theoretically and compared with experimental data. It has been shown that the observed sharp flux gradients are inherent in the system and not due to non-ideal behaviour of the experimental parameters. 相似文献

Mn, Zn and Al concentrations of ume, sakura and sugi stems determined by ICP-MS using a simple pretreatment were compared with those determined by INAA. We obtained a considerably good agreement between the two methods. ICP-MS using simple pretreatment was found to be useful in analyzing the elements in tree stems. 相似文献

Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen were determined in gases by time-of-flight spectrometry of prompt neutrons from the respective
reactions12C(d, n)13N,14N(d, n)15O and16O(d, n)17F, produced by a pulsed beam of deuterons of 2 MeV (for nitrogen) or 3 MeV. The analysis is non-destructive and requires about
15 min. per sample. The relative standard deviation for all three elements was about ±3%. Detection limits, using a total
irradiation current of 20 millicoulombs, for carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, respectively, were 6·10−8 g, 2·10−7 g and 1.7·10−7 g per cm2 cross-sectional area of irradiating beam. 相似文献

The determination of boron in biological materials by neutron irradiation and prompt gamma-ray spectrometry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A prompt-gamma neutron activation technique has been developed using the (n, ) apparatus situated at the O degree through-tube of the Imperial College CONSORT II Reactor with a thermal neutron flux at the target position of approximately 2×106 n cm–2 sec–1, and a Compton-suppression system involving a lithium-drifted germanium (Ge(Li)) detector and a sodium iodide anti-Compton shield. Boron levels of 1–5 g g–1 (detection limit 0.05 g B for 10,000 sec period of measurement) can be attained using the Compton-suppression system with graphical inter-polation correction for the 472 keV sodium-ray peak contribution to the Doppler-broadened 478 keV boron gamma-ray peak resulting from the10B(n, )7Li reaction. Very good agreement is reached for boron levels compared using this system for various Standard Reference Materials and other published values. Measurement of the boron content of bone and tooth samples from rheumatoid arthritis individuals shows lower levels, (p<0.05); 16.13±7.53 g g–1, when compared with a control population; 19.79±4.18 g g–1. A positive correlation existed between the boron content of bone and tooth material for each study group. Results indicate that boron availability may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

中子技术能够利用中子与物质的相互作用确定其组成等性质,广泛应用于医学、环境科学、核反应堆建设、金属矿产勘查及石油工业中。在石油天然气领域,中子探测技术主要被用于确定井孔中的孔隙度、密度和流体饱和度等参数。随着测井技术的不断发展,基于瞬发伽马射线的中子活化分析技术也已应用于井下确定地层元素含量,并成为复杂岩性和非常规油气储层获得矿物含量的唯一手段。本文阐述了地层元素伽马能谱测井的方法,利用蒙特卡罗方法模拟了不同地层条件下的伽马能谱,构建了地层元素的标准谱库,研究了奇异值分解和极大似然估计能谱数据处理方法,并利用得到的元素产额及氧闭合模型实现地层元素含量的确定。利用蒙特卡罗方法构建已知地层的伽马能谱,采用上述数据处理方法得到元素含量与地层真实元素含量误差均在4%之内,Si元素误差最大为2.8%,Ca元素最大误差为3.3%,研究结果为井下确定地层元素成分及含量提供了有效的技术支持。 相似文献

The triplet-triplet absorption spectra of various aromatic compounds in benzene solution were studied by pulse radiolysis. It has been found that methylation of naphthalene characteristic absorption band in this group of compounds at 430±10 nm (naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 2,6-dimethylaphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene and fluorene); new bands appeared with phenanthrene and pyrene at 495 and 525 nm respectively. The decay remains of the first order in the whole group with similar rate constant values. Diphenyl and 1,1-dinaphthyl show significant changes in their T-T spectra in comparison with the preceding group of compounds. T-T spectrum of o-terphenyl differs significanly from those of p-and m-isomers, which can be caused by greater overlapping of electron orbitals in o-isomer molecule. Aromatic ketones show a complex picture both in spectra and decay kinetics. 相似文献

Improvements in the determination of low nitrogen-15 abundances by emission spectrometry are described. Stronger emission is observed if a capillary constriction is formed at the centre of the discharge tube, and the background under the 14N15N peak is greatly reduced. The relative error normally caused by problems in estimating the background is thus decreased. The overall precision is better than 1% in the range from natural abundance to 1.0 atom-% nitrogen-15. 相似文献

A pre-irradiation group separation procedure for the quantification of 11 to 13 rare earth elements (REE) in geological materials by neutron activation analysis, with yield determination by mass spectrometry isotope dilution analysis of Sm and Nd, is described. Utilization of the shorterlived isotopes of the REE allow sufficient data for most geochemical studies to be obtained within one day of irradiation, although where necessary additional information may be obtained following a decay period of three to four weeks. Analysis of selected USGS rock standards shows the method to be both accurate and precise. 相似文献

The determination of boron in sedimentary rocks by neutron irradiation and prompt γ-ray spectrometry
S. A. Kerr W. V. Prestwich T. J. Kennett D. M. Shaw 《Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry》1980,57(2):525-533
Prompt γ-rays following the (nth, α) reaction on10B have been measured to determine the boron content of sedimentary rocks. Employing an external reactor neutron beam with
only modest flux, it is possible to assay boron at concentrations typically encountered in this material (>5 μg/g). The technique
relies on the use of chemical standards and the values obtained for 9 North American shales are compared with measurements
performed by emission spectrography. Detection limits and statistical errors as a function of beam time are also discussed.

Neutron activation analysis and atomic absorption spectrometry (graphite furnace) methods for the analysis of selenium in
human tissue are described. The sensitivity (10–30 ng/sample), accuracy and precision are of the same order for both techniques
and the choice can only be made on grounds of urgency or convenience. AAS should be chosen for the analysis of wet tissue
or the urgent analysis of small numbers of dry tissue. NAA should be chosen for the analysis of large numbers of dry tissue
samples where time is not important. The selenium concentration of human liver is shown to be in the region of 1 to 2 ppm
(dry weight). Selenium may be lost from tissue during freeze drying if the samples are not maintained at −35°C. 相似文献

A non-destructive neutron activation method was developed for the determination of silver and antimony in high-purity bismuth ; γ,γ-coincidence counting of 110mAg or 124Sb was applied. The activity of the matrix or other impurities did not interfere. When 1-g samples were irradiated at a neutron flux of 4·1011 n cm-2 sec-1 for 25 days, the sensitivity of the method was in the p.p.b. region. 相似文献

Epithermal instrumental neutron activation analysis (EINAA) together with Compton suppression system were optimized and used to analyze several food samples for the determination of low levels of iodine. The method involved the irradiation of samples in the outer epi-cadmium site of the Dalhousie University Slowpoke-2 reactor facility. The samples were then counted directly without any chemical treatment on an anticoincidence counting system. This system comprised a 25 cm3 hyperpure Ge detector, a guard detector consisting of a 10"×10" NaI(Tl) annulus with five photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and a 3"×3" NaI(Tl) plug with one PMT. Iodine was quantitatively analyzed using the 443 keV photopeak of 128I. The precision and accuracy of the method were evaluated using real samples and biological reference materials, respectively. The precision of the method was calculated as percent relative standard deviation and in all cases was within ±5%. The agreement between our iodine values and those of the certified values was generally within ±10%, suggesting an excellent accuracy of the method. The detection limits of the various samples calculated, with the lowest value of 20 ppb. The values of iodine determined ranged between 24 to 3080 ppb. The methods and results are presented. 相似文献
