초록
본 연구에서는 최신형 선형가속기 TrueBeam을 대상으로 10 MV FF mode와 FFF mode간 광중성자의 발생량을평가하였고, FFF mode에서 10 MV, 15 MV 에너지 변화에 따라 발생되는 광중성자의 발생량을 평가하였다. 발생된 광중성자는 13개 측정점에서 평가하였으며, 발생된 광중성자 수집을 위해서는 한국천문연구원에서 개발한 조직등가비례계수기(KTEPC)를 이용하였다. 10 MV FF mode와 FFF mode 간 측정결과에서 10 MV FF mode가 모든 측정 점에서 높게 측정되었으며, Superior 방향에서 0.455 mSv와 0.152 mSv로 가장 많은 차이를 보였으며, FF에서33% 이상 많은 광중성자가 발생하였다. FFF mode에서 10 MV, 15 MV 에너지에 따라서는 15 MV에서 모든 방향에서 높게 평가되었고, 방향 기준으로는 Superior 방향에서 0.402 mSv로 가장 높게 평가되었으며, 전체 평균 6.9% 로 높게 측정되었다.
Abstract
In this study, the generation of photoneutrons between the 10 MV FF mode and the FFF mode was evaluated and the amount of photoneutrons generated by the 10 MV and 15 MV energy changes in the FFF mode was evaluated. The generated neutrons were evaluated at 13 measurement points and the KTEPC was used to collect the generated neutrons. 10 MV FF mode was measured at 10 MV FF mode and FFF mode at all measurement points. In the superior direction, 0.455mSv and 0.152mSv were the largest, and more than 33% optical neutron was generated in FF. 10 MV in FFF mode, 15 MV in 15 MV, and 0.402 mSv in the direction of Superior, and 6.9% in the direction.
