1. Simulating the dose enhancement effects of platinum nanoparticles in a spherical geometry with Monte Carlo calculations

Creator:: Mathews, Joshua A.
Abstract:: Background: The use of high-Z nanoparticles as radiation dose enhancers has been researched thoroughly over the past decade. High-Z nanoparticles introduced to a medium increase the probability of photoelectric absorption. This leads to an increase in the production of short range characteristic and Auger electrons and, thus, local radiation dose....

2. Beehive model creation for use in determining radiation dose to beeswax and bee larvae

Creator:: Jia, Junwei
Abstract:: Honeybees and honey combs are good indicators of environmental contamination and can be important for dose calculations. In the event of reactor accidents and nuclear weapon testing, the released radioactive materials are likely to be transported through various environmental pathways as well as by humans and animals, including bees. Due...
