Polyethylene/boron nitride composites for space radiation shielding
Courtney Harrison,Sean T. Weaver,Craig M. Bertelsen,Eric Burgett,Nolan E. Hertel,Eric A. Grulke +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, boron nitride powder surfaces were functionalized to improve interfacial adhesion, and a trifunctional alkoxysilane to the powder surface prior to processing increased the composite modulus to 856 MPa.

Secondary neutron spectra from modern Varian, Siemens, and Elekta linacs with multileaf collimators
TL;DR: The current study offers medical physicists extensive information about the neutron production of MLC-equipped linacs currently in operation and provides them information vital for accurate comparison and prediction of neutron dose equivalents and calculation of vault shielding requirements.

Wendt,Lynn Wood,L. Yao +48 more
TL;DR: The fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) as mentioned in this paper is a two-chamber MICROMEGAS TPC designed to make precision cross-section measurements of neutron-induced fission.
Polyethylene/Boron Composites for Radiation Shielding Applications
Courtney Harrison,Eric Burgett,Nolan E. Hertel,Eric A. Grulke +3 more
- 28 Jan 2008
TL;DR: In this paper, boron carbide composites were fabricated using conventional polymer processing techniques, and were evaluated for mechanical and radiation shielding properties, showing superior mechanical properties compared to neat HDPE.

Secondary neutron spectrum from 250-MeV passively scattered proton therapy: measurement with an extended-range Bonner sphere system.
Rebecca M. Howell,Eric Burgett +1 more
TL;DR: The authors used the neutron fluence spectrum to demonstrate experimentally the contribution of neutrons with different energies to the total dose equivalent and in particular the contributions of high-energy neutrons (≥20 MeV).
