  • Radiation shielding arrangement
    Patent number: 6927407
    Abstract: A radiation shielding arrangement for shielding high-energy neutron radiation and gamma radiation from high-energy particle accelerators or storage rings includes a shielding element made of water-containing material, for example with chemically bound water or water of crystallization, in particular gypsum. The water component of the material preferably makes up at least 5, 10 or 20 percent by weight. The hydrogen nuclei or protons contained therein moderate neutrons in a virtually ideal manner because of the almost identical mass and the maximum pulse transformation associated with this.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2005
    Assignee: Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung mbH
    Inventors: Willi Brüchle, Georg Fehrenbacher, Torsten Radon, Frank Gutermuth
