A new tritium monitor design based on plasma source ion implantation technique
(University of St Andrews, 1997-06) - ThesisTritium is an important isotope of hydrogen. The availability of tritium in our environment is manifest through both natural and artificial sources. Consequently, the requirement for tritium handling and usage will continue ... -
An improved system of damage limitation for better risk control in radiological protection near environmental level.
(University of St Andrews, 1995-07) - ThesisIn radiological protection, models are used to assess radiation risk by means of extrapolation from high dose and dose rate to low dose and dose rate. In this thesis five main biophysical models of radiation action have ... -
Charge transport in liquid hydrocarbons for microdosimetry
(University of St Andrews, 1998-06) - ThesisDuring the last two decades there has been growing interest in the application of organic dielectric liquids for dosimetry of ionizing radiations. The main problem associated with the liquid application in radiation detectors ... -
Microdosimetry of photoneutrons around medical linear accelerators.
(University of St Andrews, 1997-06) - ThesisPhotoneutrons produced in the vicinity of medical linear accelerators for therapy, constitute a hazard which is difficult to assess and monitor. The aims of the project were to develop new techniques, using microdosimetry, ... -
Specification of the quality of ionising radiations for unified dosimetry in radiobiology and radiological protection
(University of St Andrews, 1997-06) - ThesisIt is widely agreed in radiobiological and biophysical research that the DNA is the dominant target which can lead to terminal biological damage in the form of cancer or cell death. A main objective in radiation protection ...
