Fluence and dose measurements for an accelerator neutron beam
Abstract
The 3MV Van de Graaff accelerator at McMaster University accelerator laboratory is extended to a neutron irradiation facility for low-dose bystander effects research. A long counter and an Anderson–Braun type neutron monitor have been used as monitors for the determination of the total fluence. Activation foils were used to determine the thermal neutron fluence rate (around 106neutronss−1). Meanwhile, the interactions of neutrons with the …
