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 …
In general localization of radioactive sources or hotspots is a major issue for radiological safety of operators in nuclear facilities and in National Security. For this purpose, portable Gamma-Ray Imaging (GRI) systems allow remote localization of …
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 …
We present a small form factor (0.5𝑐𝑚3) static CZT sensor net-work consisted of a number of Non- Directional Detectors (NDD)capable to localize a stationary radiation source in 3D. The localiza-tion is performed with a fusion algorithm based on AI …
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 …
The Miniaturized Detector for Application in Space (MIDAS) device is developed in response to the requirement of the European Space Agency for a device whose size, power consumption, and radiation data output would increase the level of space‐flight …
