Expanded and combined uncertainty in measurements by GM counters [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2007 This paper deals with possible ways of obtaining expanded and combined uncertainty in measurements for four types of GM counters with a same counter’s tube, in cases when the contributors of these uncertainties are cosmic background radiation and induced

Dependence of cosmic ray component in background of atmosphere surface from solar magnetic activity
Vestnik KRAUNC: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2021 Using Geant4 toolkit the changes of the flux density and of the dose rates of the secondary cosmic radiation at the heights up to 50 m from the land surface (at a depth of atmosphere about 1030 g/cm²) and depending on solar magnetic activity were ...

The Microwave Background Radiation [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990 We review the data on the spectrum and isotropy of the microwave background radiation and the astrophysical processes that may produce spectral distortions and anisotropies. As yet no fully satisfactory explanation has been found for the submillimeter excess observed by Matsumotoet al.(1988).

Two-Level-System Dynamics in a Superconducting Qubit Due to Background Ionizing Radiation [PDF]
PRX Quantum, 2022 Superconducting qubit lifetimes must be both long and stable to provide an adequate foundation for quantum computing. This stability is imperiled by two-level systems (TLSs), currently a dominant loss mechanism, which exhibit slow spectral dynamics that ...

Chocolatine: Outage Detection for Internet Background Radiation [PDF]
Traffic Monitoring and Analysis, 2019 The Internet is a complex ecosystem composed of thousands of Autonomous Systems (ASs) operated by independent organizations; each AS having a very limited view outside its own network. These complexities and limitations impede network operators to finely

Polarization of the cosmic background radiation [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1981 The technique and results of a measurement of the linear polarization of the cosmic background radiation at a wavelength of 9 mm are discussed. Data taken between 1978 May and 1980 February from both the Northern Hemisphere (Berkeley latitude 38 deg N) and the Southern Hemisphere (Lima latitude 12 deg S) over 11 declinations from -37 to +63 deg show ...

Investigation on the Background Radiation of Abakaliki Rice Mill in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Atom Indonesia, 2021 This study investigated the background ionizing radiation of Abakaliki rice mills. The requirement to monitor this site is because the prevalent activities in the site suggest that it is a source of ionizing radiation.

Low Background Radiation Detection Techniques and Mitigation of Radioactive Backgrounds
Frontiers of Physics, 2020 The study of rare fundamental physics phenomena, such as double-beta decay, rare nuclear decays and dark matter, requires very low levels of background radiation in order to observe a signal.
