Engineering cell-fluorescent ion track hybrid detectors
BACKGROUND The lack of sensitive biocompatible particle track detectors has so far limited parallel detection of physical energy deposition and biological response. Fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTDs) based on Al₂O₃:C,Mg single crystals combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) provide 3D information on ion tracks with a resolution limited by light diffraction. Here we rep...
متن کاملNuclear Track Detectors
Approximately half of the human exposure to radiation is due to indoor airborne shortlived progeny (decay products) of the radon gas (Rn). To measure the airborne concentrations of radon gas and/or its progeny, Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) are usually employed. The NTDs register the alpha particles emitted by radon gas and its progeny in the form of tracks in the NTDs, which will become visib...
متن کاملIncreasing the energy dynamic range of solid-state nuclear track detectors using multiple surfaces.
Solid-state nuclear track detectors, such as CR-39, are widely used in physics and in many inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. In the ICF experiments, the particles of interest, such as D(3)He-protons, have ranges of order of the detector thickness. In this case, the dynamic range of the detector can be extended by recording data on both the front and back sides of the detector. High...
متن کاملMeasurements of Indoor Radon Levels in India using Solid~State Nuclear Track Detectors: Need for Standardisation
Solid-state nuclear track detectors are being used to obtain the time integrated concentration levels of indoor radon/thoron and their daughters. This technique is preferred for taking such measurements in dwellings Such measurements are important as the radiation dose to human beings due to indoor radon constitutes more than 50 per cent of the total dose including that received from the natura...
متن کاملLong-term measurements of unattached radon progeny concentrations using solid-state nuclear track detectors.
We described a method for long-term passive measurements of unattached fraction fp of the potential alpha energy concentration of radon progeny from a set of measured (f1, f2, f3) values, where fi=Ci/C0 (i=1, 2, 3), and C0, C1, C2 and C3 were the concentrations of 222Rn, and the airborne concentrations of 218Po, 214Pb and 214Bi, respectively. Jacobi room model parameters were randomly sampled f...
