Abstract

The use of high-energy photon beams in radiotherapy aims to increase the effectiveness of the radiation beam so that it can reach tumors that are deeper than the surface of the skin. However, linac aircraft operated above 8 MV can cause photonuclear interactions. Neutrons, which are highly avoided in medical physics, can be generated from the interaction of high-energy photons with materials with high atomic numbers (Z) in linac heads. The study focused on simulating the production of linac 10 MV aircraft contaminant neutrons using Fluka-Flair software based on the Monte Carlo method to find out where the contaminant neutrons come from and their dose contribution to the water phantom. The simulated linac aircraft is a linac head consisting of target components, primary collimator, Flattening filter, ion chamber, Secondary Collimator, and Phantom. The simulation results show that neutrons are generated at the target component, primary collimator, Flattening filter, ion chamber, secondary collimator, and water phantom. Tungsten is the target material with the most excellent 55,08% neutron fluence due to its highest atomic number, Primary Collimator 23,45%, Flattening Filter 10,67%, Ion Chamber 7,58%, Secondary Collimator 3,07% and Phantom 0,15 %.

Abstract

Electrical energy is one of the human needs that is often used in everyday life. However, the power plant used is still conventionally using fossil fuels, gas oil or coal which is getting depleted, while the need for electricity is increasing. The benefits of how solar cells work as a learning medium is one of the studies as an example of the utilisation of solar thermal energy into electrical energy.This research uses experimental methods. The results of the efficiency of the benefits of how the solar cell works as a learning media feasibility percentage of 75.6% From the results of panel test data for 5 times observed periodically produced an efficiency of 83% at the time of use 30 minutes, 85% at the time of use 60 minutes, 79% at the time of use 90 minutes, 68% at the time of use 120 minutes and 63% at the time of use for 150 minutes. So that the total efficiency done by solar panels can be 75.6% and the tools used as solar cell media can work properly. Voltage, current, electric power and efficiency of the lamp produced are influenced by the size of the temperature of the solar heat, if the temperature of the solar heat is high then the resulting efficiency increases and vice versa. If the sunlight is low then the value of efficiency, current, voltage and power will decrease.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the characteristics of superposition waves in the musical instrument known as "saron" in the gamelan ensemble. In this study, three types of gamelan sarons were used as research instruments: "saron demung," "saron barung," and "saron panerus" or "peking." The sounds produced by these musical instruments were recorded, mixed, and analyzed using Audacity software and Spectra Plus Sound Card Edition. The analysis results conducted with Audacity and Spectra Plus Sound Card Edition revealed the presence of superposition waves that either reinforced each other when they had the same phase and frequency or weakened each other when they had different phases and frequencies. Therefore, this study concludes that audio mixing that falls under constructive or reinforcing superposition of waves is the combination of "saron demung" with "saron demung." On the other hand, audio mixing that falls under the destructive superposition of waves includes the varieties of "saron barung" with "peking," "saron barung 1" with "demung," "saron barung 2" with "peking," and "saron barung 2" with "demung."

Abstract

Seismic stratigraphy is one of the efforts in interpreting stratigraphy from seismic data. In seismic data, things that can be construed include faults, facies, depositional environments, sequence boundaries, petroleum systems, etc. Studies related to seismic stratigraphy are an essential part of oil and gas exploration activities. These studies can support the analysis of results in early fields with minimal data or fields without good data. The results of stratigraphic analyses on subsequent seismic data are useful as a basis for further exploration activities. A simple method that can be used to interpret seismic data is by using a wheeler diagram. The interpretation results obtained from stratigraphic analysis on seismic data with a width of 5 Km and a depth of 50 ms are ten faults with a descending pattern, and there are five sequence boundaries based on the continuity pattern of seismic data. Based on the results of stratigraphic interpretation on seismic data, the reservoir deposition environment is in the transition area. The petroleum system that can be indicated from the seismic data is that the reservoir is in the off-lap section and also in the basin floor fan, the source rock is below the reservoir zone, the reservoir migration pattern passes through the fault, and the shale at the top of the reservoir layer can be a seal rock and the trapping pattern in the seismic data is generally a stratigraphy trap
