Neutron Converter

In this work, we present the improved efficiency of 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes-based detectors equipped with the thermal neutron converters. This is achieved by optimizing the thermal neutron converter thicknesses. Simulations of the optimal thickness of thermal neutron converters have been performed using two Monte Carlo codes (Monte Carlo N–Particle Transport Code and Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter). We have used 6LiF and 10B4C for the thermal neutron converter material. We have achieved the thermal neutron efficiency of 4.67% and 2.24% with 6LiF and 10B4C thermal neutron converters, respectively.

Therapeutic Photon Beams

To estimate Cerenkov radiation generated in various dielectric materials, in this study, we calculated therapeutic photon beams induced electron fluxes in a CaF2, PMMA, SiO2 and Al2O3 by using the Monte Carlo N-particle Extended transport code (MCNPX). Also, we clarified the relationship between electron fluxes produced in various dielectrics and energy depositions in water by irradiation of therapeutic photon beams. The electron fluxes and the energy depositions were calculated as a function of water depth.
