Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for measuring radiation, characterized in that, with the same type of sensors, which are polarized and has different converters, more types of radiation are detected and measured and separated at the same time, while at the same time having very small dimensions, very low lower detection limit and low power consumption.
- the system operates as an loT device, sending data via cloud or edge technology.
- the system I invented had the dimensions of a credit card and a weight of a few grams, when usually the active radiation detectors are much larger and thicker with a weight starting at 200 grams.
- the autonomy of conventional detectors did not exceed one week, unlike the system I had devised, whose autonomy reached one month, depending on the measurements it performs per day.
- the above system that I invented and patented could be used in all fields of radiation existence. It could be used especially in mixed fields of radiation where the measurement and especially the separation of different types of radiation is not easy, such as in Space, Hospitals, Army, Research Centers, Nuclear Reactors, Accelerators, Aircraft, a. It was also proportionally very low consumption (low voltage and low power), and could be used as a real time measurement system, but also as a passive measurement system.
- the invented system significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the system measurements, through the polarization of the sensors which takes place in each sensor but also the different connection of the sensors which significantly improves the lower detection limits and the accuracy of the measurements. .
- the polarization is not necessarily the same in every sensor in order to achieve the best separation. In this way it is possible to measure with very high accuracy even the background radiation (environmental radiation).
- system devised by the present invention achieves incomparably greater autonomy, which exceeds four months. This fact allows the system to have great autonomy even with the use of wifi in its communication with it. In this way, the system devised by the present invention can function as an loT device, which sends data via cloud technology or edge technology.
- Figure 1 shows the conceptual system in perspective.
- Figure 2 shows the interior of the invented system with its individual components.
- Figure 3 shows an alternative variant of the invented system with more sensors in order to detect, measure and separate more radiation than already.
- the system I has devised has an outer shell (1) while inside it has as sensors four field-effect transistors - MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) with a very thick gate oxide, in order to have high sensitivity, in order in pairs.
- MOSFET Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor
- These sensors are polarized, ie an external voltage is placed at two of the four terminals of the transistor between the source and the bulk (Vbs).
- Each sensor depending on the type of radiation it detects is polarized with a different polarization voltage. In particular, the higher the probability of reconnection of the generated ions, the greater the voltage required during the polarization of the sensor.
- each sensor has the effect of increasing their efficiency because it reduces the rate of reconnection of ions generated in silicon.
- the best separation of the different types of radiation is achieved.
- the measurement of significantly lower doses is achieved, because the response of the sensor depends on the polarization voltage.
- the MOSFETs (2) & (3) do not have a converter and one of them, such as the MOSFET (2), is surrounded by an absorber (4) Pb, in order to stop the heavy ions and therefore only counts protons, while the other, ie in this case MOSFET (3) is not surrounded by an absorber and measures both protons and heavy ions.
- MOSFET (3) is not surrounded by an absorber and measures both protons and heavy ions.
- the other two MOSFETs (5) & (6) have a 6Li OB or polyethylene converter, and one of them, as indicated by the MOSFET (5), is surrounded by an absorber (7) Cd or Au or kovar, in order to separate the thermal - epithermal neutrons from the intermediate-fast neutrons, which is achieved by the difference between the two samples, due to the fact that the MOSFET (5) which is surrounded by an absorber (7) Cd or Au or kovar, measures the intermediate fast neutrons while the MOSFET (6) that does not have an absorber counts all the neutrons, ie both the thermal-epithermal and the intermediate fast neutrons. With additional polarization, the sensitivity of the sensors to neutrons increases and the lower detection limit decreases. This makes it possible to detect and better separate neutrons in a mixed field.
- the sensors (2), (3), (5) & (6) are connected in series and are polarized in the body and in the source Vbs with different polarization each ranging from 0.1 to 9 Volts.
