Positron lifetime measurements are used as a tool for obtaining a deeper understanding of positron behaviour in solids and calibrating the Chalmers Pulsed Positron Beam. Experiments are executed for positron energies up to 13 keV corresponding to the maximum penetration depth in Au of roughly 400 nm and measurement results are compared to PENELOPE simulations. ...
Knowledge of solar radiation at the ground surface is valuable for many disciplines. In this study, ground–based sensors at Fortuna and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, were used to calibrate daily–integrated satellite–derived solar radiation. ...
This study examined how endogenous adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) would persist on aluminum coupons under simulated martian conditions of 7.1 mbar, full-spectrum simulated martian radiation calibrated to 4 W m–2 of UV-C (200 to 280 nm), –10°C, and a Mars gas mix of CO2 (95.54%), N2 (2.7%), Ar (1.6%), O2 (0.13%), and H2O (0.03%). ...
The Network has proven to be of value in improving national capabilities for instrument calibration and the level of awareness of the need for better accuracy and traceability [1]. ...
In 2001, a probabilistic safety assessment of the Radiation Monitor Calibration Laboratory of a Brazilian nuclear power station was performed to estimate its radiological risk. ...
The increasing use of radiation in the medical field is providing great advances in health improvement. However, these techniques can generate an increase in the number of professionals exposed to radiation. The Brazilian authorities (Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission ? ...
The use of gamma radiation equipment for the nondestructive measurement of soil density originated nearly four decades ago. The typical procedure involves a careful calibration of the gamma radiation counts on specimens of known density of the same materials as those whose density are to be measured. ...
