The radioactive contamination of a BaF$_2$ scintillation crystal with mass of 1.714 kg was measured over 101 hours in the low-background DAMA/R&D set-up deep underground (3600 m w.e.) at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of INFN (LNGS,…
The paper discusses some 3D simulations to compute the ionizing radiation dose during laser-plasma experiments leading to the generation of accelerated protons and electrons. Also, we suggest a new method to increase the measurement…
SPECT imaging is one of the common modalities used to examine kidney disease. The radiopharmaceuticals such as 99mTc-MAG3, 99mTc-DTPA, and 99mTc-DMSA are commonly employed for pediatric patients. It is generally accepted that children…
In this report simulations of 192Ir source located inside a phantom designed for measuring the absorbed dose and radioactive source position are presented. Monte Carlo simulations were performed and results were compared with a theoretical…
In 1992 the Far-Ultraviolet Space Telescope (FAUST) provided measurements of the ultraviolet (140-180nm) diffuse sky background at high, medium, and low Galactic latitudes. A significant fraction of the detected radiation was found to be of…
The paper reports on a new plasma startup scenario in the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) magnetic mirror device. The primary 5 MW neutral beam injection (NBI) plasma heating system fires into a sufficiently dense plasma target ("seed plasma"),…
Energetic ions lose their energy in tissue mainly by ionising its molecules. This produces secondary electrons which transport this energy radially away from the ion path. The ranges of most of these electrons do not exceed a few…
Numerical simulations are performed on a stochastic model based on Monte Carlo damage simulation process and Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques to investigate the formation and evaluation of isolated and multiple DNA damage and cellular…
The gamma radiation in samples of a variety of natural tiling rocks (granites) imported in Cyprus for use in the building industry was measured, employing high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. The rock samples were pulverized, sealed in 1…
The use of building materials containing naturally occurring radionuclides,such as K-40, U-238 and Th-232 and their progeny, could lead to external exposures of the residents of such buildings. In this paper, a set of models are set up to…
Radiation dose is an important performance indicator of a dedicated breast CT (DBCT). In this paper, the method of putting thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) into a breast shaped PMMA phantom to study the dose distribution in breasts was…
Using the Brink-Axel hypothesis we derive the rate $R$ for nuclear dipole excitation by a laser pulse carrying $N \gg 1$ photons with average energy $\hbar \omega_0 \approx 5$ MeV. As expected $R \propto (\hbar \omega_0)^3$. The rate is…
