The detection of explosives and contraband materials using neutron activation analysis (NAA) is a critical component of modern security systems. This study investigates the feasibility of identifying explosive materials using a simple sodium iodide …
Gamma-ray spectroscopy is an essential technique for identifying the composition of radioactive materials. This work presents a detailed algorithm for analysing gamma-ray spectra, focusing on peak detection, energy calibration, efficiency calibration …
Coded Aperture γ-cameras have been extensively used in applications ranging from astrophysics to nuclear medicine for imaging radioactive source distributions. These devices allow the identification of the direction of γ-emitters by analyzing the …
Moon is an auspicious environment for the study of Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and Solar Particle Events (SEP) due to the absence of magnetic field and atmosphere. The same characteristics raise the radiation risk for human presence in orbit around it …
The data acquisition system of a radiation monitor package for lunar mission is presented. The package enables the measurement of the flux of all the main particles present in the lunar environment as a function of their energy, as well as the …
Coded Aperture γ-cameras have been used for more than three decades for imaging radioactive source distributions encountered in astrophysics, in decommissioning of nuclear facilities, and in nuclear medicine. These devices enable the identification …
The Miniaturized Detector for Application in Space (MIDAS) is a compact device with dimensions 5 x 5 x 1 cm 3 which combines position sensitive Si detectors and a fast neutrons spectrometer. MIDAS is developed with purpose to act as a linear energy …
We present a small form factor (0.5 cm3) static CdZnTe (CZT) sensor network consisted of a number of Non Directional Detectors (NDD) capable to localize a stationary radiation source in 3D. The localization is performed with fusion algorithms based …
Radiation doses received by astronauts outside the geomagnetic field are a main risk factor for human space exploration. The Miniaturized Detector for Application in Space (MIDAS) device is a highly miniaturized radiation detector (mass
We present a small factor (0.5 cm3) CZT static sensor network consisted of a number of Non-Directional Detectors (NDD) capable to localize bare and lightly shielded radiation sources. The localization is performed with a fusion algorithm based on a …
