1 Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Matter Interaction of neutrons with matter Neutral particles, no repulsion with the positively charged nucleus: important projectile Origin of the neutrons: Nuclear reactor Neutron source Neutrons must be moderated Moderators: water, hydrogen, deuterium 9 Be + α 12 C+ n 9 Be Am 12 C+ n 1
2 Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Matter Interaction of neutrons with matter Neutral particles, no repulsion with the positively charged nucleus: important projectile Slow (moderated) neutrons react with many nuclei: Neutron capturing (n,γ) reactions Radioactive isotopes of almost all elements can be produced this way 2
3 Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Matter Interaction of neutrons with matter Cross-section / barn Neutron energy / ev Cross section is a measure for the probability of a nuclear reaction (barn = m 2 ) 3
4 Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Matter Neutron activation Non-destructive analytical method for trace analysis Suitable for qualitative & quantitative analyses (internal standard) λ N =Φ σ N T (1 e λt ) λ= decay constant of the daughter N = number of daughter atoms φ= fluence rate of neutrons σ= cross section N T = number of target atoms 4
5 Interaction of radiation with a biological system leads to an energy transfer The biological impact depends on: type of radiation type of irradiated biological material How to quantify the amount of transferred energy? How to quantify the biological impact? 5
6 Ion dose (exposure) I = produced charges mass of irradiated air I = Q m Radiation source SI Unit: I = C(As) kg = 6, Ion pairs kg air Ionization chamber Old unit: R (Roentgen) 4 2,58 10 C 1R = kg air C 1 kg air = 3, R Measurement of the ionization in an ionization chamber Gas filled container with a window of thin material Electric current is produced by ions which are produced by the influence of radiation 6
7 Energy dose absorbed radiation energy D = D = mass ΔW Δm the formation of 1 ion pair requires 34 ev SI unit: 1 Gy (Gray) 1 Gy = 1 J/kg Old unit: rd (rad) 1rd = 10-2 Gy Direct information about the transferred energy 7
8 Equivalent dose Damage of organic material (tissue) can only be expected if the energy is absorbed by the tissue (interactions radiation-matter) The bigger the absorption is, the bigger is the impact Highly ionizing radiation has a higher impact than weakly ionizing (α > n > β, γ, X) Energy dose exclusively reflects the pure energy value (not the impact) Equivalent dose H = D W W = weighting factor of the radiation SI Unit: 1 Sv (Sievert) 1 Sv = 1 J/kg old unit:1 rem 1 Sv = 100 rem (roentgen equivalent men) 8
9 Equivalent dose Representing the stochastic health effects of ionizing radiation on the human body. Equivalent Dose enables the comparison of different types of radiation. Equivalent dose H = D W W = weighting factor of the radiation normal cell damaged cell Radiation types X-rays, γ- and ß- radiation W Neutron radiation about 10 α - radiation 20 1 Biological sample after irradiation with β-particles Biological sample after irradiation with α-particles Dose rate: dh (Sv / h) dt relative destruction: 1 Energy dose: 2 Gy relative destruction: 1 Energy dose: 0.1 Gy 9
10 Dosimetry Ion dose measurable value Energy dose Information about the absorbed energy Equivalent dose Information about the biological impact Multiplication with the w factor of the particular material Multiplication with the weighting factor of the particular radiation 10
