A novel method to measure ion density in ICF experiments using X-ray spectroscopy of cylindrical tracers by Pérez-Callejo, G, Barrios, MA, Liedahl, DA, Rose, S, Wark, JS

“…In this method a microdot of a mid-Z material is placed inside the hohlraum and its K-shell emission spectrum is used to determine the plasma temperature. However, radiation transport of optically thick lines acting within the cylindrical dot geometry influences the outgoing spectral distribution in a manner that depends on the viewing angle. …”

Dose-rate constant and air-kerma strength evaluation of a new 125I brachytherapy source using Monte Carlo by Camila de Oliveira Primo

“…In this study, dose-rate constant and air-kerma strength parameters were simulated using the Monte Carlo method radiation transport code MCNP4C. The air-kerma strength is obtained from an ideal modeled seed, since its actual value should be measured for seeds individually in a specialized lab with a Wide-Angle Free-Air Chamber (WAFAC). …”

Machine-Learning-Assisted Analysis of Visible Spectroscopy in Pulsed-Power-Driven Plasmas by Datta, Rishabh, Ahmed, Faez, Hare, Jack D.

“…We use machine-learning (ML) models to predict ion density and electron temperature from visible emission spectra, in a high-energy density pulsed-power-driven aluminum plasma, generated by an exploding wire array. Radiation transport simulations, which use spectral emissivity and opacity values generated using the collisional-radiative code PrismSPECT, are used to determine the spectral intensity generated by the plasma along the spectrometer’s line of sight (LOS). …”

Tabulation of organ dose conversion factors for terrestrial radioactivity monitoring program by Sanusi, M. S. M., Hassan, W. M. S. W., Hashim, S., Ramli, A. T.

“…For other physical quantities, for example organ absorbed dose and organ equivalent dose, the measurement is impossible to be performed and can only be computed using Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations. In the past, most of the works only focused on calculating air-kerma-to-effective dose conversion factors. …”

The proposal and realization on more exact modeling of COIL performance by Shouxian Li, Xiaojian Shu, Yanyi Du, Hua Su, Yan Li, Zhen Yu

“…To model the complete COIL lasing interaction, a three-dimensional formulation of the fluid dynamics, species continuity and radiation transport equations is necessary. The computational effort to calculate the flow field over the entire nozzle bank with a grid fine enough to resolve the injection holes is so large as to preclude doing the calculation. …”
