MULTIDIRECTIONAL NEUTRON TRANSPORT AND DOSE COMPLIANCE IN MULTILAYER IRON-CONCRETE SHIELDING FOR A 50 MEV PROTON ACCELERATOR: A MONTE CARLO-MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH
In this study, the multidirectional transport and dose compliance of secondary neutron fields generated by the interaction of 50 MeV protons with a copper target were investigated within a multilayer iron-concrete hybrid shielding system using a hybrid Monte Carlo (MC)-Machine Learning (ML) approach. High-accuracy FLUKA MC simulations were employed to compute the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) distributions along both horizontal (±x) and vertical (±y) directions in a realistic tunnel-type accelerator geometry.
