MSL-RAD radiation environment measurements.
In this study, results are presented from the on-board radiation assessment detector (RAD) of Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). RAD is designed to measure the energetic particle radiation environment, which consists of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) as well as secondary particles created by nuclear interactions of primary particles in the shielding (during cruise)...
متن کاملRAD: The Space Shuttle Radiation Environment And Its Effect on High Sensitivity Film
The "RAD" (Radiation Assay Device) SEM experiment consists of two parts: a set of passive radiation dosimeters and several rolls of high speed color photographic film. The experimental package was flown on two separate high inclination shuttle missions, STS-85 (57) and STS-91 (51). The goal was to accurately measure the amount and type of radiation exposure to a typical payload in low earth orb...
متن کاملSTAT RAD: A Potential Real-Time Radiation Therapy Workflow
The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 1.5 million people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer, and 560,000 will die of cancer in 2010 (Jemal et al., 2010). These numbers are projected to increase rapidly in the near future due to national demographics with a large number of Americans reaching retirement age over the next 15-20 years, resulting in a doubling of p...
متن کاملEpistatic interactions of radiation-sensitive (rad) mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Six double mutants and a quadruple mutant were derived from four UV radiation-hypersensitive single mutants (rad-1, rad-2, rad-3 and rad-7). Sensitivities of the 11 strains to UV, gamma-radiation and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) were compared. Of the six double mutants, only the rad-1;rad-2 and rad-3;rad-7 doubles were no more hypersensitive than the most sensitive single mutant to UV-radiatio...
متن کاملBackground radiation, people and the environment
All living organisms are exposed to ionizing radiation comprising cosmic rays coming from outer space, terrestrial nuclides occurring in the earth’s crust, building materials, air, water and foods and in the human body itself. The exposures are constant and uniform for all individuals everywhere including the dose from ingestion of 40K in food. Cosmic rays are, more intense at higher alt...
