Torii, Tatsuo

冬季雷活動時に観測される線量率上昇の原因を解明するため、雷雲電場に起因する高エネルギー$$gamma$$線の生成についてモンテカルロ計算によりラドン子孫核種が放出する$$beta$$$$gamma$$線の挙動を計算した。その結果、電場内で多量の逃走電子が生成され電磁シャワーが発生することにより、雷雲を模擬した電場内で電子・光子束が急激に上昇することがわかった。本発表では、ラドン及びその子孫核種による逃走絶縁破壊の可能性について報告する。

In order to investigate the generation of energetic photons which originate in thunderstorm electric fields, we have calculated the behavior of electrons and photons in electric fields with Monte Carlo method. In case of the calculation for the energetic electrons emitted in the atmosphere, the electron and photon fluxes have increased greatly in the region with high electric field. Then, we have carried out the Monte Carlo transport calculations of the $$beta$$ and $$gamma$$ rays emitted by radon progeny products, as a source of energetic electrons, in thundercloud electric fields. From the calculated results, these products can serve as the source of a considerable amount of energetic electrons, because the radon progeny products form a large part of the energetic electrons in the atmosphere.
