Zone and Chapter: Suffolk University
Project
Project Name: Neutron Energy Distribution of an AmBe Source at the MGH Proton Center
Project Leaders: Alexandra Leeming
Chapter Advisors: Walter H Johnson
Project Description: At Suffolk University, the Neutron Research Project aims to investigate the neutron radiation energy of an americium-beryllium (AmBe) source located at Massachusetts General Hospital. Arrays of energy dependent bubble detectors are used to detect radiation in six energy ranges in order to construct a full radiation spectrum.
