Recovery and reanalysis of archived airborne gamma spectrometry data from the 1991 Dounreay survey.
نویسنده
چکیده
Archived Airborne Gamma Spectrometry (AGS) data from the 1991 NIREX characterisations of Caithness have been recovered. The separate gamma spectrometry and positional data streams for approximately 120,000 measurements have been combined into a single data stream using the European Radiometrics and Spectrometry (ERS) data format. An analysis using working calibration coefficients and spectral stripping procedure has verified that the original survey recorded high quality data. The converted data stream is in a format more accessible to future research use, including evaluation of environmental change in the Caithness region.

The precise and timely manner modeling of received photon counts from gamma-ray sources has an important role in providing afore information for Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometry (AGRS). In this manuscript, the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model has been used to model AGRS. The proposed method provides gamma source and environmental disturbances ARIMA model, using known radio...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation for Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometry
The aerial measuring terrestrial gamma radiation from airborne platforms is a useful method for characterizing the radiation levels over large areas. Because of the advantage of Monte Carlo method, it is very suitable for simulation of gamma ray transport and interaction with media (soil, air, aircraft and detector), which offer alternative means of estimating detector response and calibration ...
متن کاملComparison of airborne and terrestrial gamma spectrometry measurements - evaluation of three areas in southern Sweden.
The Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) has been conducting airborne gamma spectrometry measurements of natural radioactivity in Sweden for more than 40 years. Today, the database covers about 80% of the country's land surface. This article explores the first step of putting this data into use in radioactive source search at ground level. However, in order to be able to use the airborne backgroun...
