Abstract
Currently, the experience in designing installations using extracted carbon ion beams in Russia (the world) is very limited. The medical cabin for ion therapy of channel 26A of the LUCH U-70 project provides a unique opportunity for assessing the effectiveness of biological protection and verifying calculations. The paper presents data from experimental measurements of neutron radiation behind the biological protection of a medical cabin. The data were obtained for two energies of the extracted beam of accelerated carbon nuclei - 400 and 450 MeV/nucleon. The result is compared with the calculation performed using the FLUKA program for a given protection configuration. Good agreement between experimental data and calculations is shown.
