Simulation study on radiation exposure of emergency medical responders from radioactively contaminated patients

Scientific Reports, 2021
Emergency medical responders (EMRs) who treat victims during a radiation emergency are at risk of radiation exposure. In this study, the exposure dose to EMRs treating hypothetically contaminated patients was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, and

The Nylon Scintillator Containment Vessels for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment [PDF]

, 2007
Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment designed to observe the 0.86 MeV Be-7 neutrinos emitted in the pp cycle of the sun. Neutrinos will be detected by their elastic scattering on electrons in 100 tons of liquid scintillator. The neutrino event rate in
