Date Issued:2016

Format:born digital; doctoral dissertations

The goal of this project is to develop improved algorithms for detection of radioactive sources that have low signal compared to background. The detection of low signal sources is of interest in national security applications ...
Investigation of exposure rate discrepancies between energy compensated Geiger Mueller tubes and pressurized ionization chambers due to muon and anti-muon cosmic particles

Author(s):Gift, Matthew
Date Issued:2017

Format:born digital; masters theses

Energy compensated Geiger Mueller (GM) tubes and pressurized ionization chambers are two types of gas filled detectors that measure radiation dose or exposure but operate on different physical principles. Energy compensated ...
