This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPC) are used for medical and space activities whenever a combination of high and low LET (lineal energy transfer) radiations are present. With the frequency and duration of space activities increasing, exposure to fast heavy ions from galactic cosmic radiation and solar events is a major concern. The optimum detector geometry is spherical; to obtain an isotropic response, but simple spherical detectors have the disadvantage of a non-uniform electric field. In order to achieve a uniform electric field along the detector axis, spherical tissue equivalent proportional counters have been designed with different structures to modify the electric field. Some detectors use a cylindrical coil that is coaxial with the anode, but they are not reliable because of their sensitivity to microphonic noise and insufficient mechanical strength. In this work a new spherical TEPC was developed. The approach used was to divide the cathode in several rings with different thicknesses, and adjust the potential difference between each ring and the anode to produce an electric field that is nearly constant along the length of the anode. A-150 tissue equivalent plastic is used for the detector walls, the insulator material between the cathode rings is low density polyethylene, and the gas inside the detector is propane. The detector, along with the charge sensitive preamplifier, is encased in a stainless steel vacuum chamber. The gas gain was found to be 497.5 at 782 volts and the response to neutrons as a function of angle was constant ±7%. This spherical tissue equivalent proportional counter detector system will improve the accuracy of dosimetry in space, and as a result improve radiation safety for astronauts.

Download or read book Design and Construction of a Compact Multi-chamber Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter written by Temeka Taplin and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was designed to determine the feasibility of constructing a multi-chamber proportional counter. A multi-chamber detector is designed to increase the total surface area which will increase the number of radiation interactions that occur per unit dose. Surface area can be changed without changing the detector volume by subdividing the active volume into several smaller volumes that can then be used as mini detectors whose data can be summed and used to determine the absorbed dose. This will allow the total surface area to remain the same as that of the more common 12.5 cm (5 in.) spherical detector and a decreased total volume resulting in a more compact detector design. However, subdividing those volumes causes problems with electric field fringing at the ends of the mini detectors. In order to correct this, guard ring and field tube designs which operate at a lower voltage than the detector cathode were tested. Results from this study showed that the field tube design provided the best overall resolution but it only outperformed the other designs by a maximum of 5%. However the field tube design doubles the length of the detector which would result in a larger overall detector package. The performance of the single and double ring configurations was suitable for radiation monitoring applications. These findings show that it is feasible to use an arrayof subdivided detector volumes instead of a spherical detector.

Download or read book Microdosimetry written by Lennart Lindborg and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental microdosimetry deals with the measurement of charged particle energy deposition in tissue equivalent volumes, ranging in size from nanometres to micrometres. Microdosimetry is employed to improve our understanding of the relationship between radiation energy deposition, the resulting biological effects, and the appropriate quantities to be used in characterizing and quantifying radiation quality. Although many reviews and contributions to the field have been published over the past fifty years, this new book is the first to provide a single, up to date, and easily accessible account of experimental microdosimetry. This book is designed to be used in medical, radiation, and health physics courses and by Master’s and PhD students. In addition to serving as an introductory text to the field for graduate students, this book will also be of interest as a teaching and reference resource for graduate supervisors and established researchers. Drs. Lennart Lindborg and Anthony Waker have spent a life-time career in experimental microdosimetry research in academic, industrial and regulatory environments and have observed the development of the field from its early days as a recognized discipline; they bring to this book particular knowledge and experience in the design, construction, operation and use of tissue equivalent gas ionization counters and chambers.

This book was released on 2012-01-08 with total page 1251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook centers on detection techniques in the field of particle physics, medical imaging and related subjects. It is structured into three parts. The first one is dealing with basic ideas of particle detectors, followed by applications of these devices in high energy physics and other fields. In the last part the large field of medical imaging using similar detection techniques is described. The different chapters of the book are written by world experts in their field. Clear instructions on the detection techniques and principles in terms of relevant operation parameters for scientists and graduate students are given.Detailed tables and diagrams will make this a very useful handbook for the application of these techniques in many different fields like physics, medicine, biology and other areas of natural science.
