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.

Spatial-temporal modeling of background radiation using mobile sensor networks. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Modeling of background radiation for the urban environment plays an important role in homeland security. However, background radiation is difficult to assess due to its spatial-temporal fluctuations caused by the variation in soil composition, building ...

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

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.
