Near‐IR Radiation‐Induced Attenuation of Aluminosilicate Optical Fibers
2021
The X-ray radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) growth kinetics are studied online in different single-mode aluminosilicate optical fibers in the near-IR (NIR) domain to evaluate their potential in terms of dosimetry. The optical fibers differ by Al contents, core sizes, drawing parameters, and also by a preform deposition process. The data show no dependence of the RIA on all these parameters, a positive result for the design of point or distributed radiation detectors exploiting RIA to monitor the dose. The RIA growth rate is unchanged for dose rates changing from 0.073 to 6.25 Gy(SiO2) s−1, and the RIA linearly increases with the dose up to 2 kGy(SiO2). Small but noticeable RIA changes are…
Properties of Gd-Doped Sol-Gel Silica Glass Radioluminescence under Electron Beams
2022
International audience; The radiation-induced emission (RIE) of Gd3+-doped sol–gel silica glass has been shown to have suitable properties for use in the dosimetry of beams of ionizing radiation in applications such as radiotherapy. Linear electron accelerators are commonly used as clinical radiotherapy beams, and in this paper, the RIE properties were investigated under electron irradiation. A monochromator setup was used to investigate the light properties in selected narrow wavelength regions, and a spectrometer setup was used to measure the optical emission spectra in various test configurations. The RIE output as a function of depth in acrylic was measured and compared with a reference…
Measurement of the average shape of longitudinal profiles of cosmic-ray air showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory
2019
The profile of the longitudinal development of showers produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays carries information related to the interaction properties of the primary particles with atmospheric nuclei. In this work, we present the first measurement of the average shower profile in traversed atmospheric depth at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The shapes of profiles are well reproduced by the Gaisser-Hillas parametrization within the range studied, for E>10 17.8 eV .A detailed analysis of the systematic uncertainties is performed using ten years of data and a full detector simulation. The average shape is quantified using two variables related to the width and asymmetry of the profile, and …

La braquiterapia (BT) es una modalidad de tratamiento de radioterapia en la que se coloca una fuente radiactiva encapsulada cerca, en contacto o en el interior del volumen a tratar. La desintegración de esta fuente produce la emisión de energía, lo que puede dar lugar a la muerte celular. Una dosis absorbida muy elevada (la dosis absorbida se define como la energía absorbida por unidad de masa) se deposita en un corto período de tiempo y en un pequeño número de fracciones. Para poder realizar un tratamiento de BT se requiere que el volumen de tratamiento sea accesible y bien delimitado en tamaño y forma. La BT se utiliza comúnmente como una modalidad de tratamiento eficaz para el cáncer de …
