Book Description
Aqueous solutions of ferrous ammonium sulfate with cupric chloride were studied as a means for determining the uniformity of the dose rate around a multikilocurie cylindrical array of cobalt-60. Ferric ion was measured spectrophotometrically at 305 millimicrons. The solution selected to satisfy the requirements for dosimetry contained 0.0005 M ferrous ammonium sulfate and 0.005 M cupric chloride in 0.001 N sulfuric acid. Spectrophotometric measurements of ferric ion were made in solutions brought to 0.15 N acid concentration, instead of the conventional 0.8 N, in order to minimize spurious oxidation. The molar extinction coefficient at this normality proved to be the same as that in 0.8 N solutions. The G value, as compared to the standard ferrous-ferric dosimeter, was 0.65. Using these solutions, no detectable variation in dose rate was found at symmetrically equivalent positions at the center of the cobalt-60 source. The average dose rate at each end of the cylindrical array proved to be 12 percent lower than that at the center. The dose rate was also less uniform at the ends, varying by = 4 percent from point-to-point. At a distance of fifteen inches from the center of the source array, the dose rate decreased as the square of the distance. (Author).

Asymptotic Solutions of Dipoles in a Semi-infinite Medium
Author: Kondagunta U. Sivaprasad
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Antennas (Electronics)
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
A theoretical analysis is made of the electromagnetic fields in two homogeneous media separated by a plane interface with a point source located in the denser medium. The solution is expressed in the form of integrals which cannot be evaluated explicitly. Asymptotic evaluations of the integrals have been made by many investigators using the saddlepoint technique. In the present work, all known asymptotic results are presented in one comprehensive form, using a modification of the method suggested by Lighthill for the asymptotic evaluation of the Fourier integrals. The regions of validity of the solutions are indicated wherever possible. The advantage of this method over others is its ease and simplicity. The present results agree term by term with the earlier ones of Banos and Wesley (1953-1954), and Paul (1959), who investigated the case of a source and receiver close to the interface, and an arbitrary location of source and receiver, respectively. The results obtained in the report are also compared with those of Stein (1955). (Author).
