고에너지 전자가 매질 내에서 수송될 때, 매질 내에서 Photoneutron 생성률과 생성된 중성자 에너지 분포를 EGS4 코드를 사용하여 계산하였다. EGS4 코드는 광자-전자 연계 수송코드로 Photoneutron 반응단면적을 제공하지 않기 때문에, Photoneutron 반응단면적 계산루틴과 생성된 중성자 에너지분포 계산루틴을 작성하여 Ta와 Pb의 표적 매질에 100 MeV의 전자가 입사하였을 때 표적의 두께변화에 따른 Photoneutron 생성률과 생성된 중성자 에너지분포를 계산하였다.

진공상태에서 diamond stylus로 MgO 표면을 마모시킬 때 발생되는 photon, electron과 마찰력을 시간의 함수로 동시에 측정하였다. 전자 방출(EE)은 Channeltron electron multiplier로 , 광자 에너지는 Photomultiplier tube를 사용하여 측정하였는데 180~600nm 영역의 photon을 검출하였다. 광자 방출(PhE,) 실험은 공기중에서도 할 수 있으나 전자방출은 1$\times$10-4pa 이하의 진공에서 실험하여 얻었다. 본 실험을 통하여 결정과 diamond stylus 사이에서 일어나는 마모 현상은 millisecond로 관찰하여 표면 변화에 대한 상관관계를 조사하였다. 열처리 한것과 열처리 하지 않은 시료를 비교한 결과 3개의 signal(마찰력, PhE, EE)을 시간에 따라 분석하면 stick-slip-like 현상을 볼 수 있었다. 이것으로 보아 stick은 변형에 의해 생기고 ms 후에 벽개 현상이 발생됨을 볼 수 있다. 방출과 마찰력은 표면조건, load, stylus velocity에 따라 변하였다. luminescence는 주로 변형에 의해 생겼으며, 전자 방출은 벽개(fracture)에 의해 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 시료의 처리과정과 load 속도에 따른 Photon, electron의 방출은 시료의 표면 상태에 따라 좌우되었다. 마찰력, PhE, EE의 시간에 따른 분석에서 PhE는 변형 과정에 민감하며, EE는 stylus velocity에 의존하였다. 이러한 방출 현상은 세라믹의 급격한 벽개 과정을 이해하는데 많은 도움을 주었다.

In this study, Geant4 based Monte Carlo simulations were carried out for medical linear accelerator. Modified Medical Linac2 toolkit was used for calculation. The energy spectrum, most probable energy and the photon mean energy compared with the published results using the EGS4 code. The results well agreed with published results. The calculated results of photon fluence, energy fluence and mean energy according to the radius from the centre of the beam were analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation using Medical Linac2 code is considered to be useful for analysis of medical linear accelerator. Because the calculated results varies depending on Physics List model for same head structure. It it important to choose the right model for research purpose. Monte Carlo simulation using GEANT4 Medical Linac2 is a valuable for any novice to adopt this code to the study related to 6 MV photon fluence from medical linear accelerator.

In this study, we measured the time-resolved optically stimulated luminescence (TR-OSL) of Paleolithic paleosol quartz and evaluated its lifetime. Considering the lifetime dependence on the preheating applied after irradiation, the radiation exposure, and the optical pulse stimulation, we found that the optimum measurement condition for determining the lifetime of paleosol quartz was the optical pulse stimulation at a dwelling time of $250{\mu}s$, pulse width of $10{\mu}s$, and sweep number of 100,000, without preheating after 100 Gy of irradiation. Based on the dependence of the lifetime on the reading temperature, the thermal quenching activation energy ${\Delta}E$ and thermal assistance activation energy $E_a$ were evaluated as $0.60{\pm}0.14eV$ and $0.053{\pm}0.029eV$, respectively. These values were in good agreement with those reported in the literature. Therefore, we concluded that the resulting kinetic parameters for paleosol quartz are quite reliable.

Influence of the cavity size on the response of LiF TLD was theoretically investigated for a presumed system of spherical TLD cavity imbedded in a medium of polyethylene. Calculation of the response for different radii of the spherical cavity was carried out as a function of incident photon energy, applying recent cavity theory. The range of the radii covers 1.578 to 6.528 mm, while that of the incident photon energies extends from 0.02 to 3.0 MeV. As a results, the response of the LiF TLD imbedded in a medium as a cavity was found to be functions of its own size as wall as the incident photon energy.

Recently, high energy photon radiotherapy is a growing trend for increasing therapy results. Commonly, if you use high energy photons above 6~8 MeV nominal accelerator voltage, It lead the photo-nuclear reaction and the generation of photo-neutron are accompanied and these problematic factors are issued in the view of radiation protection. Therefore, in this study analyzed for dose distribution of photo-neutron in radiotherapy room based on MCNPX. As a result, absorbed dose is increased sharply from 10 MV to 12 MV. It was founded that the rapid increasement of photoneutron fluence was related to the absorbed dose at above 10 MV. Also, in case of the recommendation of ICRP 103, the outcome of an exchanged equivalent dose which based on calculated an absorbed dose, showed lower equivalent dose than ICRP 60 by reflecting the contribution of secondary photon for absorbed dose of human body in the low energy band.

Accurate radiation dosimetric characters is very important to determine of dose to a radiotherapeutic patient. Medical linear accelerators have been developed not only its new quality of convenient operation but also electric moderation. It is reliable to measure more detail physical parameter that linac's internal ability. Typically, radiation dosimetric tool is classified ionization chamber, film, thermoluminescence dosimeter, etc. Nowaday, Electronic Portal Imaging Device is smeared in radiation field to verification of treatment region. EPID's image was focused that using both on-line image verification and absolutely minimum absorbed dose during radiotherapy. So, Electronic Portal Imaging was tested for quality evaluation of medical linear accelerator had its pure conditional flash. This study has performed symmetry, Light/Radiation field congruence, and energy check, geometry difference on wedge filter using a liquid filled ion chamber (EPID). Prior to irradiated on EPID, high energy photon beam is checked with ion chamber. Using these results more convenient dosimetric method is accomplished by EPID that taken digital image. Medical image is acquired with EPID too. Therefore, EPID can be analyzed by numerical information for what want to see or get more knowledge for natural human condition.

A radiophotoluminescent glass rod detector (GRD) system has recently become commercially available. We investigate the dosimetric properties of the GRD regarding the reproducibility of signal, dose linearity and energy dependence. The reproducibility of five measurements for 50 GRDs is presented by an average of one standard deviation of each GRD and it is ${\pm}1.2%$. It is found to be linear in response to doses of $^{60}Co$ beam in the range 0.5 to 50 Gy with a coefficient of linearity of 0.9998. The energy dependence of the GRD is determined by comparing the dose obtained using cylindrical chamber to that by using the GRD. The GRD response for each beam is normalized to the response for a $^{60}Co$ beam. The responses for 6 and 15 MV x-ray beams are within ${\pm}1.5%$ (1SD). The energy response of GRD for high-energy photon is almost the same as the energy dependence of LiF:Mg:Ti (TLD-100)and shows little energy dependence unlike p-type silicon diode detector. The GRDs have advantages over other detectors such diode detector, and TLD: linearity, reproducibility and energy dependency. It has been verified to be an effective device for small field dosimetry for stereotactic radiosurgery.
