چکیده

نوترون‌رادیوگرافی (NRG) یک روش تصویربرداری غیرمخرب جهت ایجاد تصویر با استفاده از تابش نوترون می‌باشد. در این پژوهش، مطالعات امکان‌سنجی رادیوگرافی نوترون با استفاده از منبع نوترونی مبتنی بر محصورسازی الکترواستاتیکی-اینرسی (IECF) توسط شبیه‌سازی به وسیله ابزار شبیه‌سازی مونت‌کارلو Geant4 انجام گردید. به منظور درک بهتر کارایی دستگاه جهت نوترون رادیوگرافی، اثر ضخامت‌های مختلف سرب بر روی تصویر و امکان تشخیص حفره‌هایی با سایزهای مختلف درون یک قطعه ضخیم سرب، بررسی شده است. کیفیت تصاویر حاصل شده برای پارامترهای مختلف برحسب کنتراست بررسی شده است. نتایج شبیه‌سازی، کارآمدی و محدودیت‌های NRG را برای تصویربرداری با استفاده از این دستگاه و مناطق احتمالی (از نظر ضخامت سرب و سایز حفره‌ها) که NRG می‌تواند اجرا شود، نشان داده است.

چکیده [English]

Neutron radiography (NRG) is a non-destructive imaging technique for image generation using neutron radiation. In this paper, feasibility studies of neutron radiography for IECF were performed by Geant4 Monte Carlo code. The effects of the different thicknesses of lead on the image and the detection possibility of cavities with different sizes inside a thick lead have been investigated to understand the performance of the device for neutron radiography purposes. The quality of the images was evaluated in terms of contrast. The simulation results showed the efficiency and limitations of NRG for IECF devices and the potential areas where NRG can be performed.
