Full Spectrum Modeling of In Situ Gamma-ray Detector Measurements with a Focus on Precipitation-Induced Transients

Mark S. Bandstra, James M. Ghawaly, Douglas E. Peplow +9

Gamma-ray detectors that are deployed outdoors experience increased event rates during precipitation due to the attendant increase in Rn-222 progeny at ground level. The increased…

Mobile Object Tracking in Panoramic Video and LiDAR for Radiological Source-Object Attribution and Improved Source Detection

M. R. Marshall, R. J. Cooper, J. C. Curtis +4

The addition of contextual sensors to mobile radiation sensors provides valuable information about radiological source encounters that can assist in adjudication of alarms. This st…
