Description

In preparation of manned missions to the planet Mars and the radiation protection for the International Space Station several electronic dosimetry instruments are used in space. All these instruments have different abilities. This project is to characterize the differences between three of these instruments. These are the MATROSHKA/SSD (Silicon Scintillator Detector), the ExoMars/IRAS (Ionizing Radiation Sensor) and the MSL/RAD (Radiation Assessment Detector) instruments; each of these instruments has the ability to provide dosimetry data for radiation protection. In two of these instruments the organic scintillator BC-430 is used. This material shows a non linear quenching effect which shall be investigated and characterized with this project. (author)
