In this study, LET (Linear Energy Transfer) calibration of CR-39 SSNTD (Solid State Nuclear Track Detector) was performed using 500 MeV/u Fe heavy ions in HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator) for high LET radiation dosimetry. The irradiated CR-39 SSNDT were etched according JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) etching conditions. And the etched SSNTD were analyzed by using Image J. Determined dose-mean lineal energy ($\overline{y_D}$) of 500 MeV/u Fe is about 283.3 keV/um by using the CR-39 SSNTD. This value is very similar result compare to the results calculated by GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation and measured with TEPC active radiation detector. We confirmed that the CR-39 SSNTD was useful for high LET radiation dosimetry such as heavy iron ions.

방사선 생물학적 효과(Radio biological effectiveness, RBE)를 선량에 대부분 의존하는 X선과 달리 탄소빔의 경우 LET의 변화량은 반드시 고려되어야할 사항이다. 이는 X선 과는 극히 대조적인 선량 분포도를 갖고 있기 때문이며 LET의 변화량이 중요한 이유가 된다. 따라서 기존의 LQ 모델이나 회복생존모델의 경우 이러한 점이 감안되지 않아 탄소빔의 분할 조사 시 문제점을 보이며 오류를 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 약 $75keV/{\mu}m$의 고LET 탄소빔 분할 조사 시 Potentially Lethal Damage Repair (PLDR)의 발생양을 확인하고 약 $13keV/{\mu}m$ 저LET 조사와 비교하여 현저히 감소하였음을 확인하였다. PLDR의 감소에 따라 생존율 또한 감소하였다. 따라서 탄소빔의 생물리학적 모델 개발에 LET의 변화량은 반드시 고려되어져야 할 것으로 보인다.

TEPC (Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter) was usually used for high LET radiation dosimetry. We developed a prototype TEPC for micro-dosimetry in the range of $0.2{\sim}300 keV/{\mu}m$. And, the simulated site diameter of the TEPC is $2{\mu}m$, of similar size to a cell nucleus. For purposes of characterization the response for high LET radiation of the TEPC has been investigated under 135MeV/u Carbon ions in HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator). We determined the gas multiplication factor and measured the lineal energy spectrum [yd(y)] of 135 MeV/u Carbon ions. The value of the gas multiplication factor was 315 at 700 V bias voltage. As a result of the experiment, we could more understand the performance of the TEPC for high LET (Linear Energy Transfer) radiation. And the procedure of high LET radiation dosimetry using TEPC is established.

Experimental studies on the fabrication of sub-30 nm nanofibers using weakly two-photon induced photopolymerized region have been carried out. For the generation of nanofibers inside or outside microstructures, an over-polymerizing method involving a long exposure technique (LET) was proposed. Such nanofibers can find meaningful applications as bio-filters, mixers, and many other uses in diverse research field. A multitude of nanofibers with a notably high resolution (about 22 nm) in two-photon polymerization was achieved using the LET. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the LET can be employed for the direct fabrication of various embossing patterns by controlling the exposure duration and the interval between voxels. Thin interconnecting networks are formed regularly in the boundary of the over-polymerized region, which allows for the creation of various pattern shapes. Overall of this work, some patterns including nanofibers are fabricated by the LET.

Three different weather-resistant coatings were fabricated with the various weight ratios of a mill-base silicone/acrylic resin to let-down silicone /acrylic resin at 2:8, 3:7, and 4:6 respectively. The prepared coatings were tested to investigate the effect of composition of weather-resistant coatings on the physical properties. The thermal stability, salt spray exposure, and weather-resistance were improved with the increased silicone content. It was concluded that the optimum retio of mill-base silicone/acrylic resin to let-down silicone/acrylic resin would be 2:8 and the coating with 30 wt% of silicone content would have high weather-resistance.

본 연구에서는 탄소이온을 이용한 고LET 방사선 치료시 CR-39 고체비적검출기(SSNTD)를 선량계로 사용하기 위하여 일본 중입자가속기연구소(HIMAC)의 400 MeV/u 탄소 이온을 이용한 교정실험을 수행하였다. 탄소 이온을 조사한 CR-39 검출기는 일본 우주항공연구개발기구(JAXA)의 고체비적검출기 전처리 프로토콜에 따라 화학적 에칭을 하였고, 에칭된 CR-39 검출기의 표면에 형성된 트랙은 디지털 카메라로 촬영한 후 Image J를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 400 MeV/u 탄소 이온의 ${\bar{y_F}}$와 ${\bar{y_D}}$는 각각 $8.5keV/{\mu}m$ 및 $10.1keV/{\mu}m$이었으며, 이 결과는 한국천문연구원의 조직등가비례계수기(TEPC)로 측정한 값 및 GEANT4 몬테칼로 시뮬레이션으로 계산한 값과 잘 일치하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 CR-39의 선량 및 LET 교정인자를 결정할 수 있었으며, 고LET 방사선 치료시 CR-39를 이용한 선량평가의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Background: We are developing a small size dosimeter for dose estimation in particle therapies. The developed dosimeter is an optical fiber based dosimeter mounting an radiation induced luminescence material, such as an OSL or a scintillator, at a tip. These materials generally suffer from the quenching effect under high LET particle irradiation. Materials and Methods: We fabricated two types of the small size dosimeters. They used an OSL material Eu:BaFBr and a BGO scintillator. Carbon ions were irradiated into the fabricated dosimeters at Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC). The small size dosimeters were set behind the water equivalent acrylic phantom. Bragg peak was observed by changing the phantom thickness. An ion chamber was also placed near the small size dosimeters as a reference. Results and Discussion: Eu:BaFBr and BGO dosimeters showed a Bragg peak at the same thickness as the ion chamber. Under high LET particle irradiation, the response of the luminescence-based small size dosimeters deteriorated compared with that of the ion chamber due to the quenching effect. We confirmed the luminescence efficiency of Eu:BaFBr and BGO decrease with the LET. The reduction coefficient of luminescence efficiency was different between the BGO and the Eu:BaFBr. The LET can be determined from the luminescence ratio between Eu:BaFBr and BGO, and the dosimeter response can be corrected. Conclusion: We evaluated the LET dependence of the luminescence efficiency of the BGO and Eu:BaFBr as the quenching effect. We propose and discuss the correction of the quenching effect using the signal intensity ratio of the both materials. Although the correction precision is not sufficient, feasibility of the proposed correction method is proved through basic experiments.

The effects of LET (linear energy transfer) of radiation on the induction of somatic chromosome mutations or gene mutations of Drosophila melanogaster were studied. For detecting somatic chromosome mutations and gene mutations, Drosophila wing spot system and eye-color spot system were used, respectively. The frequencies of somatic chromosome mutations or gene mutations induced after third instar larval treatment with 23 MeV neutrons, thermal neutrons, X-rays were examined. From these data, the RBE(relative biological effectiveness) values of 23 MeV neutrons relative to X-rays for induction of somatic chromosome mutations or gene mutations were calculated. The present results suggest that high LET radiations are efficient than X-ray in producing not only somatic chromosome mutations but also gene mutations.

The latest development flow of MCCB(Molded Case Circuit Breaker) is largely separated from which are high capability of interrupting compact of size and multi-ability in functions. As follow of development of industrial system. MCCB which are including communication function and having a ultimate interrupting capability is required in electrical system. to attain an effective limitation of the peak let-through current and the let-through energy, the arc has to move rapidly off the contacts and has to increase the arc voltage which mainly effect to interrupt. In this paper. we made high performance circuit breaker which including current limiting unit which is attached to the main which is simulated by CAE tool that are repulsion force and mechanical dynamics after that we tested and finally selected optimized for circuit breaker.
