Abstract:Medical accelerators, such as cyclotrons for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and linear accelerators (LINAC), generate neutrons as a byproduct during operation. Neutron fields in these facilities tend to vary depending on the facility design as well as the presence of various materials in the facility. Unfortunately, these variations in the neutron field cannot be accounted for by neutron survey meters that are typically deployed in the workplace for radiation monitoring. In this work, the researchers used … Show more
