High-energy neutrons up to 230 MeV are generated as a consequence of (p, n) nuclear
reactions in proton therapy facilities. The aim of this work is to evaluate the potential …

In the detection and measurement of neutron fields, with energies between 10 and 20 MeV,
current passive neutron area monitors based on gold foil sensors usually do not have a …

Abstract Compact Proton Therapy Centers, CPTC, have a single treatment room, and are
technologically more affordable, smaller, advanced and easier to use. From a radiological …

A passive neutron area monitor has been designed using Monte Carlo methods; the monitor
is a polyethylene cylinder with pairs of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD600 and …

In proton therapy facilities, high-energy neutron fields are generated as a consequence of
(p, Xn) nuclear interactions. UPM has designed and tested its own extended-range Bonner …

Abstract FANT (Fuente Ampliada de Neutrones Térmicos; in Spanish) is a thermal neutron
irradiation facility with an extended and very uniform irradiation area, that has been …

A new response matrix was calculated for a Bonner Sphere Spectrometer (BSS) with a 6 LiI
(Eu) scintillator, using the Monte Carlo N-Particle radiation transport code MCNPX …

Neutron techniques to characterize materials have a wide range of applications, one of the
major developments being the identification of terrorist threats with chemical, biological …

Neutron area monitors do not often have a good adjustment of their dose response functions
to the ICRP74 neutron fluence-to-H*(10) conversion function between 10 and 20 MeV. The …

The thermal neutron irradiation device (FANT), developed at the Neutron Measurements
Laboratory of the Energy Engineering Department at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, is a …
