组织等效电离室性能模拟分析

Analysis of Characteristics for Tissue-Equivalent Chamber by Simulation

采用对中子和γ辐射具有相似灵敏度的组织等效电离室与对中子不太灵敏而对γ辐射灵敏的无氢电离室配对,组成双电离室探测器,测量反应堆混合场中的中子和γ剂量率,具有较高的测量精度。为给双电离室研制工作提供理论依据,本工作采用MCNP程序对组织等效电离室在不同条件下的γ射线能量响应、灵敏度及其影响因素进行模拟。模拟结果与文献参数比较,一致性较好。

Paired ionization chambers used for the dosimetry of mixed gamma-neutron field in reactor, consist of a tissue-equivalent chamber which responds to both neutron and gamma radiation, and a nonhydrogenous chamber which is relatively insensitive to neutron. In this work, the gamma radiation energy response and response factor of tissue-equivalent chambers under different conditions were calculated by MCNP code for the development of paired chambers. The calculated result is in accordance well with the result in references.
