Abstract:
|
This work can be considered a first approach to the world of synchrotron machines. That
field implies a lot of disciplines; in this work the focus will be in the radiological protection
and all that surround it.
A synchrotron can be understood as a huge microscope that produces the desired light to
develop research and development for companies or for public investigation in many fields
of interest. ALBA synchrotron is the only one here in Spain, and it is the synchrotron of
reference to do this work.
The utilization of this kind of installation also produces undesired radiation. That radia-
tion can be dangerous if it is not adequately dealt. For that reason the main objective of
this work is to calculate the total annual (or in a period of time) dose produced by ALBA
synchrotron.
It was necessary to understand the physics behind ionizing radiations and to implement it
in a code. In this work are described or referenced all of the assumptions and coeficients
used to do it.
The values calculated from the simulations are verified, with measured dose obtained from
the network of detectors that ALBA has, with a very good match. These results are far
away from causing damage to the workers.
At the end of this work there are also possible future working to keep developing that
topic. |
