Gas bremsstrahlung evaluations for a phi-factory

Health Phys. 1995 Mar;68(3):383-7. doi: 10.1097/00004032-199503000-00010.

Abstract

Gas bremsstrahlung from the phi-Factory presently under construction at the INFN Frascati National Laboratories (Italy) has been studied using the Monte Carlo FLUKA code. Photon spectrum and quantitative estimates of fluence rates and tissue absorbed dose rates are given. On the basis of the obtained results the precautions to be taken are discussed.
