A miniaturized laser beam transmitter, in which a visible laser module at ${\lambda}$=650 nm is precisely stacked upon an infrared (IR) module at ${\lambda}$=905 nm, has been proposed and constructed to provide an IR collimated beam in conjunction with a collinear monitoring visible beam. In particular, the IR beam is selectively dispersed through a perforated sheet diffuser, so as to create a rapidly diverging close-range beam in addition to a highly defined long-range beam simultaneously. The complementary close-range beam plays a role in mitigating the blind region in the vicinity of the transmitter, which is inevitably missed by the main long-range beam, thereby uniformly extending the transmitter's effective trajectory that is sensed by a receiver. The proposed transmitter was designed through numerical simulations and then fabricated by incorporating a diffuser sheet, perforated with an aperture of 2 mm. For the manufactured transmitter, the IR long-range beam was observed to have divergences of ~2.3 and 1.6 mrad in the fast and slow axes, respectively, while the short-range beam yielded a divergence of ~24 mrad. The angular alignment between the long-range IR and visible beams was as accurate as ~0.5 mrad. According to an outdoor feasibility test involving a receiver, the combination of the IR long- and short-range beams was proven to achieve a nearly uniform trajectory over a distance ranging up to ~600 m, with an average detectable cross-section of ${\sim}60{\times}80cm^2$.

최근에 현대 물리학과 과학의 정점에 있는 초전도가속기 같은 고에너지 빔 가속기 시스템에서 Diocotron instability의 연구가 재조명 되고 있다. 환형의 전자 빔 사이로 프로톤 빔을 통과시키는 구조로써 자기장과 회전하는 전자빔의 상호작용에 기초를 두고 있으며 이 환형의 전자 빔이 고에너지의 프로톤 빔을 집속하는 역할을 한다. 하지만 전자빔이 진행함과 동시에 왜곡되는 현상이 발생하는데 이 왜곡되는 현상을 충분히 조절하지 못한다면 프로톤 빔의 손실과 가속하는 빔의 에너지 저하를 초래하게 될 것이고 또한 실험장치 자체에도 큰 결함을 발생 시킬 수 있다. 따라서 Diocotron instability는 가속기를 활성화 하는데 주요한 테마가 될 것이다. 환형의 전자 빔 층은 정전기적 효과로 인해서 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 속도차가 발생하게 되고 이로 인하여 drift instability 가 발생하게 되어서 왜곡이 발생하고 결국에는 몇 개의 소용돌이를 생성하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이를 2차원 원통형 구조의 Particle-in-cell 시뮬레이션을 통하여 연구하였으며 자기장의 효과에 따른 환형의 전자빔의 왜곡현상을 지연시키는 방안에 중점을 두었다. 특히 자기장의 세기, 전자빔의 밀도, 전자빔 층의 두께, 전자빔의 프로필의 차이에 의한 결과로 연구하였다.

The treatment of tumors along curved surfaces with stationary electron beams using cone collimation may lead to non-uniform dose distributions due to a varying air gap between the cone surface and patient. For large tumors, more than one port may have to be used in irradiation of the chest wall, often leading to regions of high or low dose at the junction of the adjacent ports. Electron-beam arc therapy may elimination many of these fixed port problems. When treating breast tumors with electrons, the energy of the internal mammary port is usually higher than that of the chest wall port. Bolus is used to increase the skin dose or limit the range of the electrons. We invertiaged the effect of various arc beam parameters in the isodose distributions, and combined into a single arc port for adjacent fixed ports of different electron beam eneries. The higher fixed port energy would be used as the arc beam energy while the beam penetration in the lower energy region would be controlled by a proper thickness of bolus. We obtained the results of following: 1. It is more uniform dose distribution of electron to use rotation than stationary irradiation. 2. Increasing isocenter depth on arc irradiation, increased depth of maximum dose, reduction in surface dose and an increasing penetration of the linear portion of the curve. 3. The deeper penetration of the depth dose curve and higher X-ray background for the smaller field sized. 4. If the isocenter depth increase, the field effect is small. 5. The decreasing arc beam penetration with decreasing isocenter depth and the isocenter depth effect appears at a greater depth as the energy increases. 6. The addition of bolus produces a shift in the penetration that is the same for all depths leaving the shape of the curves unchanged. 7. Lead strips 5 mm thick were placed at both ends of the arc to produce a rapid dose drop-off.

Patient dose verification is one of the most important parts in quality assurance of the treatment delivery for radiation therapy. The dose distributions may be meaningfully improved by modulating two dimensional intensity profile of the individual high energy radiation beams In this study, a new method is presented for the pre-treatment dosimetric verification of these two dimensional distributions of beam intensity by means of a charge coupled device video camera-based fluoroscopic device (henceforth called as CCD-VCFD) as a radiation detecter with a custom-made software for dose calculation from fluorescence signals. This system of dosimeter (CCD-VCFD) could reproduce three dimensional (3D) relative dose distribution from the digitized fluoroscopic signals for small (1.0$\times$1.0 cm$^2$ square, ø 1.0 cm circular ) and large (30$\times$30cm$^2$) field sizes used in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). For the small beam sizes of photon and electron, the calculations are performed In absolute beam fluence profiles which are usually used for calculation of the patient dose distribution. The good linearity with respect to the absorbed dose, independence of dose rate, and three dimensional profiles of small beams using the CCD-VCFD were demonstrated by relative measurements in high energy Photon (15 MV) and electron (9 MeV) beams. These measurements of beam profiles with CCD-VCFD show good agreement with those with other dosimeters such as utramicro-cylindrical (UC) ionization chamber and radiographic film. The study of the radiation dosimetric technique using CCD-VCFD may provide a fast and accurate pre-treatment verification tool for the small beam used in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and can be used for verification of dose distribution from dynamic multi-leaf collimation system (DMLC).

전자선 치료시에 납판이나 저융점 합금이 조사면의 형태의 변형을 위하여 사용되고 있다. 콜리메이팅 장치와 마찬가지로 조사면 변형을 위한 물질도 전자선의 출력에 영향을 미친다. 저자들은 폴리스티렌 팬톰에 삽입된 Farmer형 전리함을 이용하여 Clinac-18의 전자선의 변형된 조사면에 대한 출력율을 측정하고 출력율에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 관해 분석했다. 전자선의 출력율은 전자선의 초기 에너지, 콜리메이팅 장치뿐만 아니라 조사면 크기에도 좌우되었다. 변형된 조사면에 대하여 잔자선의 에너지에 관계없이 X-선 콜리메이터와 전자선 어플리케이터의 조합이 고정되면 조사면의 크기 대 출력율은 A/P로 표시된 등가조사면의 크기에 따라 변하지만 조사면의 형태에 대해서는 무시할 수 있었다. 그러나 개조사면에 대한 출력율은 변형조사면의 출력율로부터 예상될 수 없고, 그것들만의 독립적인 관계를 가지고 있었다. 어플리케이터와 콜리메이터의 조합이 고정된 경우에 한해서 판자선의 변형조사면에 대한 출력율은 A/P로서 표시된 등가 조사면 방법에 의하여 구할 수 있다.

The traditional surface measuring method using confocal principle requires much time to measure an object surface since it is a scanning tool. In this paper, the upgraded confocal microscope is introduced. It is also a scanning tool but it requires 2D-scanning while the traditional one requires 3D-scanning. It means the time for measuring is considerably reduced. In addition, the measuring system is configured to increase the efficiency of beam. He-Ne laser whose frequency is 632.8nm is used for the laser source. An example of measuring result through the upgraded confocal microscope is showed.

Background: Gamma-ray spectrometry helps in radiation shielding problems and different applications of radioisotopes. Experimental arrangements including broad beam geometries are widely used. The aim is to investigate and evaluate the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra via attenuation by environmental materials. Materials and Methods: The photo peak to nominated parts in the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra and the attenuation coefficients ${\mu}_b/{\rho}$ from broad beam geometries are measured for the materials water, soil, sand and cement at the energies 0.662, 1.25, and 1.332 MeV with a $3{^{\prime}^{\prime}}{\times}3{^{\prime}^{\prime}}$ NaI(Tl) detector. Results and Discussion: The ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra vary according to changes in the effective atomic number $Z_{eff}$ of the attenuator, the photon energy and the solid angle. The peak to total ratios are the most sensitive parts to variations in the experimental conditions and overturn in the region 0.663 MeV to 1.332 MeV. This is indicated as inversion trend. The results are discussed in view of $Z_{eff}$ and the experimental conditions. The intensity build-up is larger at the lower energy and larger scattering angles in agreement with Klein-Nishina formula and other results. The build-up factor B is$${\sim_=}$$1 at high ${\gamma}-energies$ and small scattering angles. Conclusion: The sensitivity to material characteristics decrease gradually from peak: to total, to Compton valley, to Compton plateau ratios. Rigorous collimation is necessary at small energies. Cement, of the largest $Z_{eff}$, is characterized by the maximum broad beam mass attenuation coefficients ${\mu}_b/{\rho}$. The obtained results provide information to decide for the suitable experimental set-up based on aim of the work.
