Energy distribution function for electrons in $SF_6+Ar$ mixtures gas used by MCS-BEq algorithm bas been analysed over the E/N range 30-300[Td] by a two term Boltzmann equation and by a Monte Carlo Simulation using a set of electron cross sections determined by other authors, experimentally the electron swarm parameters for 0.2[%] and 0.5[%] $SF_6+Ar$ mixtures were measured by time-of-flight(TOF) method. The results show that the deduced electron drift velocities, the electron ionization or attachment coefficients, longitudinal and transverse diffusion coefficients and mean energy agree reasonably well with theoretical for a rang of E/N values.

The MCNP5 neutron, electron, photon Monte Carlo transport program was installed on the KISTI's SUN Tachyon computer using the parallel programming. Electron beam accelerators were modeled and shielding calculations were performed in order to investigate the reduction of computation time in the supercomputer environment. It was observed that a speedup of 40 to 80 of computation time can be obtained using 64 CPUs compared to an IBM PC.

방사선치료에 이용되는 X-선의 특성을 고찰하기 위하여, 몬테칼로 방법을 이용하여 텅스텐 표적에 입사한 6, 10, 15 MeV 의 전자선에 의해 발생되는 X-선의 에너지분포와 평균에너지를 계산하였다. 빔의 반경의 함수로서 계산된 광자의 평균에너지는 6, 10, 15 MV에 대하여 각각, 1.4-1.6, 2.1-2.5, 2.8-3.3 MeV 범위로서 반경에 크게 의존하지 않고 거의 일정하였다. 표적과의 수직거리 100 cm에서 구해진 6, 10, 15 MV X-선의 에너지분포를 이용하여, 몬테칼로 계산으로 깊이선량율을 계산하였다. 이 중 10 MV에 대한 것을 측정값과 비교하였다. 계산된 10 MV X-선의 깊이선량율은 표면영역을 제외하고 깊이의 증가에 따라 측정값보다 낮게 나타났다. 그 이유는 실제 X-선의 에너지분포에는 편평화여과기에 의한 빔경화효과가 포함되어 있는 반면, 본 연구에서 수행한 몬테칼로 계산결과에는 이 효과가 포함되어 있지 않기 때문으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Pineapple is now the third most important tropical fruit in world production after banana and citrus. Phytosanitary irradiation is recognized as a promising alternative treatment to chemical fumigation. However, most of the phytosanitary irradiation studies have dealt with physiochemical properties and its efficacy. Accurate dose calculation is crucial for ensuring proper process control in phytosanitary irradiation. The objective of this study was to optimize phytosanitary irradiation treatment of pineapple in various radiation sources using Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: 3-D geometry and component densities of the pineapple, extracted from CT scan data, were entered into a radiation transport Monte Carlo code (MCNP5) to obtain simulated dose distribution. Radiation energy used for simulation were 2 MeV (low-energy) and 10 MeV (high-energy) for electron beams, 1.25 MeV for gamma-rays, and 5 MeV for X-rays. Results: For low-energy electron beam simulation, electrons penetrated up to 0.75 cm from the pineapple skin, which is good for controlling insect eggs laid just below the fruit surface. For high-energy electron beam simulation, electrons penetrated up to 4.5 cm and the irradiation area occupied 60.2% of the whole area at single-side irradiation and 90.6% at double-side irradiation. For a single-side only gamma- and X-ray source simulation, the entire pineapple was irradiated and dose uniformity ratios (Dmax/Dmin) were 2.23 and 2.19, respectively. Even though both sources had all greater penetrating capability, the X-ray treatment is safer and the gamma-ray treatment is more widely used due to their availability. Conclusions: These results are invaluable for optimizing phytosanitary irradiation treatment planning of pineapple.

Background: Activation of air and water in the electron linear accelerator for medical use has not been considered severely. By the new Japanese regulation for protection of radiation hazard, it became indispensable to evaluate of activation of air and water in the accelerator room. The measurement of induced activity in air and water components in the electron energy region of 10 to 20 MeV is very difficult, because this energy region is close to the threshold energy region of photonuclear reactions. Then, we measured the photonuclear reaction yields of $^{13}N$, $^{15}O$, and $^{11}C$ by using the electron linear accelerator. Obtained data were compared with the data calculated by the Monte Carlo method. Materials and Methods: An activation experiment was performed at the Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University. Highly purified $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$, and carbon disks were irradiated for 10 minutes by bremsstrahlung converted by a tungsten plate. Induced activity from C, N, and O was obtained. Monte Carlo calculation was performed using MCNP5 and AERY (DCHAIN-SP) to simulate the experimental condition. Cross section data were adopted the KAERI dataset. Results and Discussion: In our experiment in hospital, calculated values were not agreed with experimental values. It might be three possible reasons as the cause of this deference, such as irradiation energy, calculation procedure and cross section data. Obtained data of this work, calculated and experimental values were good agreement with each other within one order. In this work, we used KAERI dataset of photonuclear reaction instead of JENDL. Therefore, it was found that the photonuclear cross section data of light elements are most important for yield calculation in these reactions. Conclusion: Further improvement for calculation using a new dataset JENDL/PD-2015 and considering electron energy spreading will be needed.

마이크로칼럼에 사용되는 전자렌즈는 MEMS 공정으로 정밀하게 가공되어 기존의 전자칼럼에 비하여 광학수차를 최소화 할 수 있으며, 이는 전자칼럼의 성능 향상에 주요한 요소로 작용한다. 습식 식각과 건식 식각에 의해 형성되는 전자렌즈의 모양과 배열조합에 따른 전자 광학계 연구는 중요한 의미가 있다. 마이크로칼럼은 전자방출원, source 렌즈, deflector, focus 렌즈(Einzel 렌즈)로 구성되는데, 전자빔의 특성에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 source 렌즈의 구성 요소 중 extractor와 limiting aperture의 모양에 따른 전자빔 특성을 조사하여 마이크로칼럼 제작에 있어서 최적화된 전자렌즈 조합을 도출하였다.

A density of phonon is increased by application of electric field. At this time the phonon which has higher energy than around is called hot phonon is disappeared after 7 picosecond by scattering with electron and loss energy. Since the lifetime of phonon is very short, the effects of hot phonon can be neglected in the low speed semiconductor device, but it must be considered in high speed devices. DC and AC electric fields are applied to bulk GaAs, and the density of phonon is obtained and analyzed for its effects on electron velocity and electron distribution using Monte Carlo simulation method. Under high electric filed the density of hot phonon increased and energy of hot phonon is decreased by scattering with electron on the other hand the energy of electron is increased. Therefore electron move from central valley of conduntion band to satellite vallies and the valocity of electron decrease since the mass of electron in satellite vally is heavier than central vally. In millimeter wave frequencies, the effects of hot phonon increased at higher frequencies.

A new Hydrodynamic model for the high energy tail electrons(Tail Electron Hydrodynamic Model : TEHD) is developed using the moment method. The Monte Carlo method is applied to a $n^{+}-n^{-}-n^{+}$ device to calibrate the TEHD equations. the discretization method and numerical procedures are explained. New models for the impact ionization and injection into the gate oxide using the tail electron density are proposed. The simulated results of the impact ionization rate for a $n^{+}-n^{-}-n^{+}$ device and MOSFET devices, and the gate injection experiment are shown to give good agreement with the Monte Carlo simulation and the measurements.
