Dose equivalent measurements at a 2.7 GeV proton accelerator and comparison with the Moyer model.
The Moyer model, based on a semi-empirical method validated in the 7.4 to 350 GeV energy range, is generally used to calculate lateral shielding for high energy proton accelerators. Measurements made for the Saclay Synchrocyclotron, Saturne, have enabled the parameters corresponding to a 2.7 GeV model to be studied for different target thicknesses and angles of observation. These studies show how new data have been used to modify the equations of the model.
