Abstract
Determination by FLUKA Monte Carlo Code of Thicknesses of Shielding
Required for Controlled Areas in Proton Accelerators
Abstract: The prompt radiation field produced by accelerated protons in
proton accelerator is quite complex, consisting of a mixture of changed
and neutral particles as well as photons. The goal of shielding design
in proton accelerators is to attenuate the prompt radiation produced in
the accelerator and its associated equipment of which neutrons are the
dominant shielding concern, in order to protect radiation workers and
member of the general public.
In this paper, the Monte Carlo particle transport code FLUKA was used to
shielding design in the proton accelerator tunnel at three different
energies. Minimum roof shield thicknesses were determined for controlled
areas of proton accelerator tunnel. Standard concrete and soil were
used as shielding material.
Key words: Proton accelerator, radiation protection, FLUKA, shield
material

Proton Hızlandırıcılarında Kontrollü Alanlar için Gerekli Olan Zırh Kalınlıklarının FLUKA Monte Carlo Kodu ile Belirlenmesi
Abstract
Özet: Proton hızlandırıcılarında hızlandırılan protonlar ile oluşan ani radyasyon alanı, fotonların yanı sıra yüklü ve yüksüz parçacıkların karışımını içermesi nedeniyle oldukça komplekstir. Proton hızlandırıcılarında zırh tasarımının amacı, radyasyon çalışanlarını ve genel halk üyelerini ani radyasyondan korumak için, hızlandırıcı ve ekipmanlarında oluşan baskın nötron radyasyonunu zayıflatmaktır.
Bu çalışmada, proton hızlandırıcı tünelinin üç farklı enerjide zırh tasarımı için FLUKA Monte Carlo parçacık taşınım kodu kullanıldı. Proton hızlandırıcı tünelinin kontrollü alanları için minimum çatı kalınlıkları belirlendi. Zırh maddesi olarak standart beton ve toprak kullanıldı.
Anahtar kelimeler: Proton hızlandırıcı, radyasyondan korunma, FLUKA, zırh maddesi
