Validation of MCNPX-PoliMi code for simulations of radioxenon beta–gamma coincidence detection [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2018
Abstract Radioxenon detection is an important component of the verification regime for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. We developed and validated a new model in MCNPX-PoliMi to simulate the decay of various radioxenon isotopes and the detector response of a variety of detector types.

Plant acclimation to ionising radiation requires activation of a detoxification pathway against carbonyl‐containing lipid oxidation products

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 3882-3898, October 2024.
Abstract Ionising γ radiation produces reactive oxygen species by water radiolysis, providing an interesting model approach for studying oxidative stress in plants. Three‐week old plants of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to a low dose rate (25 mGy h−1) of γ radiation for up to 21 days. This treatment had no effect on plant growth and morphology, but

Study of radioactive particle tracking using MCNP-X code and artificial neural network

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2021
Agitators or mixers are highly used in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. During the fabrication process, the equipment may fail and compromise the appropriate stirring or mixing procedure.

Linear Boltzmann equation solver for voxel‐level dosimetry in radiopharmaceutical therapy: Comparison with Monte Carlo and kernel convolution

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 5604-5617, August 2024.
Abstract Background With recent interest in patient‐specific dosimetry for radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), an increasing number of voxel‐based algorithms are being evaluated. Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport, generally considered to be the most accurate among different methods for voxel‐level ...

Ultra-thin 3D silicon sensors for neutron detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present a novel neutron detector based on an ultra-thin 3D silicon sensor with a sensitive volume only 10 µm thick. This ultra-thin active volume allows a high gamma-ray rejection, a key requirement in order to discriminate the signal coming from the ...

Activation and radiation damage in the environment of hadron accelerators

open access: yes, 2013
A component which suffers radiation damage usually also becomes radioactive, since the source of activation and radiation damage is the interaction of the material with particles from an accelerator or with reaction products.
