Area of Science:

  • Nuclear physics
  • Radiation dosimetry

Background:

  • Neutron radiation is a significant concern in various fields, including accelerator technology and space exploration.
  • Accurate measurement and prediction of neutron dose are crucial for radiation protection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure the angular distribution of neutron dose from 110 MeV (19)F projectiles on an aluminum target.
  • To compare experimental data with existing empirical formulations and theoretical predictions.

Main Methods:

  • Neutron dose was measured using a commercial rem meter.
  • Measurements were taken at angles of 0, 30, 60, and 90 degrees.
  • Experimental results were compared with calculations from empirical models and the EMPIRE-2.18 code.

Main Results:

  • Angular distributions of neutron dose were experimentally determined.
  • Discrepancies were observed between experimental data and some empirical formulations.
  • The EMPIRE-2.18 code provided a theoretical basis for comparison.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides valuable experimental data for validating neutron transport models.
  • Findings contribute to a better understanding of neutron dose distributions in accelerator environments.
  • Further refinement of theoretical models may be needed to match experimental observations accurately.
