Production of neutrons in laminated barriers of radiotherapy rooms: comparison between the analytical methodology and Monte Carlo simulations
The necessity to build or adapt radiotherapy rooms in reduced areas leads to the search for unconventional solutions for shielding projects. In most cases, adding metals to the primary barriers is the best alternative to shield rooms properly. However, when photons with energies equal or higher than...
