Description

The present article describes a small-sized device, designed and initiated in the framework of the study on the particle detection method and algorithm development. The device has been tested under both a normal radiation background and against a known radioactive sample, showing successful results in both cases. When compared with other available dosimeters, this device stands out for its small size, ultra-low power consumption and the ability to be connected to different devices, enabling collection of information for later analysis. This research focuses on the development of radiation-tolerant electronics for particle detection and analysis. The device described in this article is designed to work in parallel with particle-detection electronics in order to keep the radiation exposure monitored
