Infrared luminescence for real time ionizing radiation detection

Current Trends in Ionizing Radiation Detection

The discovery of radioactivity was also the birth of the field of radiation measurements. Over the ensuing century, the ability to sense radiation evolved from qualitative observations to precise measurements of its energy, intensity, and location, even as a function of time. The applications that influence the detector R&D have continued to demand more from the detector and analysis systems, a...

Suitability of radiochromic medium for real-time optical measurements of ionizing radiation dose.

A system, consisting of a novel optical fiber-based readout configuration and model-based method, has been developed to test suitability of a certain radiochromic medium for real-time measurements of ionizing radiation dose. Using this system with the radiochromic film allowed dose measurements to be performed during, and immediately after, exposure. The rates of change in OD before, during, an...

Detection of food treated with ionizing radiation

Treatment of food with ionizing energy-'food irradiation'is finally becoming reality in many countries. The benefits include an improvement in food hygiene, spoilage reduction and extension of shelf-life. Although properly irradiated food is safe and wholesome, consumers should be able to make their own free choice between irradiated and non-irradiated food. For this purpese labelling is indisp...
