A conventional linear accelerator system requires a flat-topped pulse with less than $\pm$ 0.5% ripple to meet the beam energy spread requirements and to improve pulse efficiency of RF systems. A a line-type pulsed modulator is widely used in pulsed power circuits for applications such as accelerators, radar, medical radiation, or ionization systems. The high-voltage pulse generator system with an output voltage of 284 kV, a pulse width of $10{\mu}s$, and a rise time of $0.84{\mu}s$ has been designed and fabricated to drive a klystron which has 30-MW peak and 60-kW average RF output power. The high-voltage test was performed using the klystron load. This thesis describes the design and test results of high-power pulse generator system for industrial accelerator application. The experimental results were analyzed and compared with the design.

Radiation detection at high count rate suffers from pulse pile-up, where the counting data and energy information of the system are affected by the overlapping of the system output pulses. There exist various pile-up correction strategies to recover the true information of the pulses, among which pulse-tail extrapolation is a well-known method focused on in this study. Present work aims to use a mono-exponential model for extrapolating the pileup-distorted trailing edge of a pulse, to provide a reference line for calculating the true amplitude of its subsequent overlapping pulse. To this goal, the auto-regression on linear operations (ARLO) method is examined and compared with two integration-based methods (the Foss and the Matheson methods), as well as the non-linear least squares (NLS) method. Despite a higher sensitivity to noise, the ARLO method was able to provide a simple, non-iterative solution with a performance over 400 times faster than the NLS algorithm, according to the analysis of a high count rate set of experimental pulses from a NaI(Tl) detection system. Foss and Matheson methods also provided solutions reasonably faster than NLS (but not surpassing ARLO), performing exactly the same as each other with results very close to NLS, benefiting from their non-iterative nature.

The purpose of this study was to exame the effectiveness of the hand massage as an independent nursing intervention for the cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. The data were collected with quasiexperimental research design from 40 subjects-20 for experimental group and 20 for control group-of the radiation oncology department of one university hospital in Seoul from January 10th to March 29th, 1994. Subjects agreed to participate in this study and ranged in age from 18 to 82 years with mean age of 52.63. They had insight of their disease and had undergone radiotherapy at least twice. The hand massage developed by Mariah Snyder (1993) based on the Swedish Massage was administered to the experimental group prior to having radiation therapy at the waiting place of radiotherapy room. Hand massage was given to each hand of patient for five minutes once a day. Measurement of the patient's blood pressure, pulse rate, state anxiety and mood were done before and after the administration of hand massage for 5 days. The data were analyzed with paired t-test, t-test an4 the results were summarized as follows ; 1. After administration of the hand massage, the diastolic blood pressure of experimental group was decreased significantly, while the systolic blood pressure and the pulse rate were decreased, but not significantaly. 2. In the experimental group, the level of anxiety was significantaly lower than control group. The mean scores of the difference of the anxiety level after having hand massage was 8.60 in the experimental group and 0.75 in the control group. 3. The difference of the mood scores before and after the massage in the experimental group was decreased significantly. The mean mood score was decreased 4.80 in the experimental group as compared with 2.02 in the control group. 4. The patients after having the hand massage expressed subjectively their feeling of relaxation, well - being and being enjoyable, the significant decreased of physical symptoms and anxiety. The findings summarized that the use of the hand massage for the cancer patient undergoing radiation therapy Produced significant changes in the level of anxiety and relaxation. Therefore it is recommended to use the hand massage as an intervention for the patients.

We use the outer gap model to explain the spectrum and the energy dependent light curves of the X-ray and soft ${\gamma}$-ray radiations of the spin-down powered pulsar PSR B1509-58. In the outer gap model, most pairs inside the gap are created around the null charge surface and the gap's electric field separates the opposite charges to move in opposite directions. Consequently, the region from the null charge surface to the light cylinder is dominated by the outflow current and that from the null charge surface to the star is dominated by the inflow current. We suggest that the viewing angle of PSR B1509-58 only receives the inflow radiation. The incoming curvature photons are converted to pairs by the strong magnetic field of the star. The X-rays and soft ${\gamma}$-rays of PSR B1509-58 result from the synchrotron radiation of these pairs. The magnetic pair creation requires a large pitch angle, which makes the pulse profile of the synchrotron radiation distinct from that of the curvature radiation. We carefully trace the pulse profiles of the synchrotron radiation with different pitch angles. We find that the differences between the light curves of different energy bands are due to the different pitch angles of the secondary pairs, and the second peak appearing at E > 10 MeV comes from the region near the star, where the stronger magnetic field allows the pair creation to happen with a smaller pitch angle.

세계적으로 해운물류 안전 보안체계가 강화됨에 따라 국가물류보안 체계 구축을 위한 해운물류 안전 보안 핵심기술에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 국제적 정서에 발맞추어, 국내에서도 감마선 핵종 검출을 위한 휴대용 방사선 검출기의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 또한 많은 부품이 국산화 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 휴대용 방사선 검출기에 사용되던 Pulse Shaping Board를 대신하여 핵종을 판별하고 Scintillator의 온도 변환 효율을 보정하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 이를 통해 검사 성능을 향상시키고 소형화 된 A9기반의 디지털 휴대용 방사선 검출기 구현에 대한 연구를 제안한다.

NaI(TI) 검출기의 파고는 용도에 따라 변하기 때문에, 온도 변화는 분광분석기의 에너지 교정에 영향을 미친다. 외부 선원을 사용하여 파고의 온도 의존성을 보상할 수 있으나 이것은 바람직하지 않은 콤프턴 영향을 야기한다. 이 연구에서는 환경중의 감마선 스펙트럼에서 뚜렸한 $^{212}Pb$로부터의 239 keV 피크, $^{214}Pb$로부터의 351 keV 피크, 40K로부터의 1460 keV 피크, $^{208}Tl$으로 부터의 2614 keV 피크를 에너지 교정의 기준 피크로 사용하였다. 이들 피크를 이용하는 방법은 마이크로소프트사의 Visual Basic으로 프로그램화하였다. 이렇게 개발된 프로그램은 신뢰성과 적용성을 검증하기 위해 $-20^{\circ}C$ 부터 $10^{\circ}C$까지 변하는 온도에서 30분 간격으로 측정한 환경 스펙트럼에 적용하였다. 그 결과로써 일상의 기온에서 측정한 $3'{\times}3'$ NaI(Tl) 검출기의 스펙트럼에 대해 이 방식의 에너지 교정은 효과적임이 입증되었다.

The bubble behavior and the radiation mechanism from a laser-induced collapsing bubble were investigated theoretically using the Keller-Miksis equation for the bubble wall motion and analytical solutions for the vapor inside bubble. The calculated time dependent bubble radius is in good agreement with observed ones. The half-width of the luminescence pulse at the collapse point, which was calculated under assumption that the light emission mechanism is black body radiation from the vapor bubble agreed well with observed value of several nanoseconds. The gas content inside the vapor bubble was too small to produce the light emission due to bremsstrahlung.

In this paper, the therapy radiation dose measurement system has been implemented by using a microcomputer after radiation was irradiated on diodes from the MM22 microtron accelerator. We have displayed 7-channel diode output values on the LCD after processing those in the 80196 MCU(Micro Computer Unit). Signal processing has been performed in the pulse mode because we can process the signal fast and use it to perform portal image by increasing a number of diode channels in the future. In order to verify the microcomputer based radiation measurement system of diodes, diode output values were compared with that of semiconductor.

To increase therapeutic efficiency and biological safety, it is important to precision control of acoustic output for therapeutic ultrasound equipment. In this paper, the electro-acoustic radiation conductance, one of electroacoustic characteristics of therapeutic ultrasound equipment, was measured by the radiation force balance method according to IEC 61161 standards and the acoustic output was estimated using the electro-acoustic radiation conductance. The estimation of acoustic output was conducted to continuous wave mode and pulse wave mode of duty cycle between 20% and 80%. The differences between prediction values and measurement results are within 5% of measurement uncertainty, which is a reasonably good agreement. The results show that acoustic output controlled by electro-acoustic radiation conductance was found to be an effective method.
