Measurements of the ambient dose equivalent rates around the Manyoni uranium deposit in Tanzania
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2023 In this study, pre-mining ambient gamma dose equivalent rates at 1 m above the ground were measured using a Gamma-Scout portable radiation survey meter at two sites, A and B, around the Manyoni uranium deposit in Tanzania.

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

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

Stringent Limit on Primordial Magnetic Fields from the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs), being present before the epoch of cosmic recombination, induce small-scale baryonic density fluctuations. These inhomogeneities lead to an inhomogeneous recombination process that alters the peaks and heights of the ...
