Identifying the Presence of Natural Radionuclides in Ashlar Samples
Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021 Humans have always been exposed to different types of natural and cosmic radiation. At present we experience 83 % natural radiation, for example from granite marbles, building materials such as concrete, brick, granite, or drywall.

Influences of cosmic radiation, artificial radioactivity and aerosol concentration upon the fair-weather atmospheric electric field in Lisbon (1955–1991) [PDF]
, 2006 The atmospheric electric field is influenced by cosmic radiation, radioactivity and aerosols. In this work we investigate the existence of: (i) correlations between relative anomalies of annual values of atmospheric electric field and cosmic radiation ...

Efficiency calibration of a well-type HPGe detector using experimental and Monte Carlo simulation techniques [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2020 Well-type high-purity germanium detectors are well suited for the analysis of small samples, as they combine high detection efficiency with low background radiation. The well geometry however makes efficiency calibration more difficult than that
