This book was released on 1986 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To predict the perturbation of interactions between radiation and material by the presence of a detector, a differential Monte Carlo computer code system entitled MICAP was developed and tested. This code system determines the neutron, photon, and total response of an ionization chamber to mixed field radiation environments. To demonstrate the ability of MICAP in calculating an ionization chamber response function, a comparison was made to 05S, an established Monte Carlo code extensively used to accurately calibrate liquid organic scintillators. Both code systems modeled an organic scintillator with a parallel beam of monoenergetic neutrons incident on the scintillator. (LEW).

This book was released on 1987 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this work is the development and testing of a Monte Carlo code system for calculating the response of an ionization chamber to a mixed neutron and photon radiation environment. The resulting code system entitled MICAP - a Monte Carlo Ionization Chamber Analysis Package - determines the neutron, photon, and total responses of the ionization chamber to the mixed field radiation environment. The Monte Carlo method performs accurate simulations of the physical processes involved in detecting radiation using ionization chambers, and eliminates limitations inherent in approximate methods. To evaluate MICAP, comparisons were made with results obtained using other code systems and with experimental results. Separate comparisons with other code systems verified the validity of the neutron, photon, and charged particle transport processes and the nuclear models used to describe the individual neutron reactions, respectively. Comparisons with mono-energetic photon calibration experiments and with mixed neutron and photon radiation experiments verified the applicability of MICAP for analyzing the response of ionization chambers to mixed field radiation environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "192Ir is one of the most popular radiation sources used for brachytherapy treatments. However, 192Ir emits a wide photon spectrum (10 keV to 900 keV) which impedes the creation of an 192Ir primary standard. The 192Ir air kerma calibration factor is derived by interpolating between 60Co, 137Cs and hard orthovoltage air kerma calibration factors obtained from a standards laboratory. The EGSnrc Monte Carlo package was used to calculate the response in low energy photon beams of a commercial parallel-plate chamber to assess useability as a 192Ir and kilovoltage photon beam calibration tool. XCOM photoeffect cross-sections were implemented in EGSnrc to improve kerma calculation agreement at low energies. The response calculations were compared to experimental data from PTB (Germany). Overall, agreement between calculations and measurement is good and represents an improvement to results from the literature. However, discrepancies exist at the lowest energies which may be caused by differences in the measurement and calculation geometries." --
