Cosmic Muon Rates and Neutron Background in a Backpack Radiation Detection System

Abstract: <p>Radiation detection systems for security applications are often equipped with neutron sensors and required to promptly respond with an alarm if the neutron flux exceeds the background level. As the ambient neutron flux is essentially caused by cosmic radiation, this background could be evaluated by assessing the rate of muons crossing the gamma-ray detector which is comprised in such systems anyway. A study performed with a commercial Backpack Radiation Detection System (BRD) demonstrates the feasibil… Show more
