dc.description.abstract
The Technical University of Catalonia is building a
miniature 12 MeV electron race-track microtron for
medical applications. In the paper we study the leakage
radiation caused by beam losses inside the accelerator
head, as well as the bremsstrahlung radiation produced by
the primary beam in the commissioning setting. Results of
Monte Carlo simulations using the PENELOPE code are
presented and two shielding schemes, global and local,
are studied. The obtained shielding parameters are
compared with estimates based on DIN 6847 part 2 as
international recommendation of the radiation safety
standards.
