Using radiation in industry and medicine brings its hazardous effects. On account of this, people have started to be exposed to extra radiation. Thus radiation protection is developed in parallel with the utilization of radiation. In order to be protected from radiation three different criteria have to be taken into account, these are time, distance and the shielding. Shielding is the most effective way. An effective shield should cause a large energy loss on a small distance without emission of more hazardous radiation. In the world, more than three-hundred nuclear facilities have been used to fulfill the needs in the fields of scientific research, energy, agriculture and industry. In addition to this in medical centres radiation beams have been used for treatment and diagnosis. It is extremely important to protect the human body from radioactive rays. Barite is a mineral which can be used for shielding because of barium, which is a high atomic number element. The shielding property of barite is utilized in fabrics. Barite coated fabrics having characteristics of retaining radiation was obtained by penetrating barite into the fabrics via coating method. The linear attenuation coefficients (μ) of the coated barite fabrics were measured at the photon energies of 662, 1173 and 1332 keV obtained from ^{137}Cs and ^{60}Co γ-ray sources, respectively. As detailed elsewhere, the measurement has been performed using the gamma spectrometer that contains NaI(Tl) connected to 16k channels multi-channel-analyser. In this study, cotton polyester blend fabric was used. To apply barite mineral to fabric via coating method, it was grinded to a size of 2-10 microns by using jaw crushers. FK 800/N type transparent compound was used as adhesive. The coated fabrics were prepared with different volumes of barite. For this purposes four different types of fabrics have been produced, where the rate of barite was 0%, 40%, 50% and 60%. The results of experiments show that barite coated fabrics have blocked radiation. When barite ratio increases, the amount of absorbed radiation also increases.

According to developing technology and conditions of modern life, use of radiation is rapidly increased. Unwittingly, our organs and tissues are exposed to radiation continuously. In order to avoid exposure to this radiation, some studies were carried out on protective clothing. In this study, radiation keeping properties of the fabrics coated with barite are examined. Radiation keeping properties were also determined by the method of image processing. After the experiments, it is determined that barite-coated fabrics absorb radiation better than normal fabrics.

Radiaton Effects on TAC-PF Electromagnetic Calorimeter

51%
EN
The proposed particle factory detector for Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC-PF) being a regional facility in Turkey will operate at the center of mass energy about 3.77 GeV with designed luminosity of the order of 10³⁴ cm¯² s¯¹. The electromagnetic calorimeter part of the detector is considered to have PbWO₄ and CsI(Tl) crystals coupled with photodiodes. In this study, the exposed dose rate to electromagnetic calorimeter during PF detector operation was estimated by FLUKA Monte Carlo tool. The irradiation effects such as the change of light yield and light transmission of these crystals were investigated to evaluate TAC-PF electromagnetic calorimeter energy resolution.

The structural modifications of LiF irradiated with swift heavy ions under oblique angles have been investigated using AFM, SEM, chemical etching, nanoindentation and optical absorption spectroscopy. LiF crystals were irradiated under incidence angles of 30 and 70 degrees with 2.2 GeV Au (fluence 5 × 10^{11} ions cm^{-2}) and 150 MeV Kr ions (fluence 10^{12}-10^{14} ions cm^{-2}). Structural study on sample cross-sections shows that two damage regions, (1) nanostructured zone and (2) dislocation rich zone, which are typical for irradiations at normal incidence, appear also in samples irradiated under oblique angles. However in the latter case a more complex structure is formed that leads to stronger ion-induced hardening.

We present results of our investigations on radiation trapping in sodium vapour excited to 3P level by weak laser pulses. The evolution of the fluorescence signal as well as the evolution of excited atoms distribution were studied using the Monte Carlo method. Some predictions of these investigations were checked experimentally.
