In this paper, simulations and measurements of photoneutrons dose rate at beamline BL09 U are carried out when Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF) running at Top-up mode(3.5 GeV, 235 mA). A geometry model is constructed for the beamline BL09 U with considerations of the scattering process of the major optical components. The model is compiled into Monte Carlo simulation code FLUKA to calculate photoneutron dose distribution. Measurements of the photoneutrons dose rate were performed by using Environmental Neutron Monitor(ENM). Observation points were arranged uniformly along the inside and outside of the optical enclosure(OE) of BL09 U. The calculation results agree with experiments within the measurements uncertainties. It is verified that photoneutrons dose simulation is reliable. The simulation and measurement methods can be applied to evaluate the neutron dose level of other beamline stations, and provide references for the shielding design of the beamlines at SSRF in the near future.展开更多

In order to get the calibration of the higher part of the high pressure ionization chamber, we use the Fluka Monte Carlo program to perform the energy response in both the spherical and the cylindrical high pressure ionization chamber which are full of argon gas. The results compared with prior study when the gamma-ray energy is less than 1.25 MeV. Our result of Monte Carlo calculation shows agreement with those obtained by measurement within the uncertainty of the respective methods. The calculation of this study is significant for the high pressure ionization chamber to measure the high energy gamma-ray.展开更多
文摘上海光源(Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility,简称SSRF)是一个由国家投资建造的第三代同步辐射光源装置,由150MeV电子直线加速器、3.SGeV增强器和3.5GeV的储存环及同步辐射实验线站组成。SSRF在运行时,电子在增强器和储存环中产生大量同步辐射。同时,电子与真空管壁等发生相互作用产生轫致辐射和中子。SSRF固定辐射监测系统用于监测SSRF运行期间在主体建筑四周与环境中产生的辐射剂量水平。系统由探测器、智能模块、监控及管理计算机组成。该系统数据采集控制将基于EPICS(Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System)进行开发,搭建了收集多台前端智能模块数据,并进行处理、分析的软件系统。文中介绍该系统各组成部分的特点和工作原理,以及监控软件、分析软件所实现的具体功能。
