Equations for calculating track parameters have been proposed, which invariably involve the track etch rate Vt and the bulk etch rate Vb. The present study measured Vb for the LR115 solid-state nuclear track detector using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The detectors were partially masked using rubber cement and then etched in 2:5 N NaOH solution at 60◦C for time periods ranging from 5 to 40 mi...

in a detection network, the final decision is made by fusing the decisions from local detectors. the objective of that decision is to minimize the final error probability. to implement and optimal fusion rule, the performance of each detector, i.e. its probability of false alarm and its probability of missed detection as well as the a priori probabilities of the hypotheses, must be known. howev...

background: separate radon and thoron measurements in soil are very important in assessment of internal exposure due to inhalation of such radioactive gases. materials and methods: in this study, a low cost, small size, passive diffusion chamber has been developed for simple measurement of radon-222 and radon-220(thoron) gases separately in soil. the diffusion chamber consists of two films and ...

Deep-learning tools are being used extensively in high energy physics and becoming central the reconstruction of neutrino interactions particle detectors. In this work, we report on performance a graph neural network assisting with set event reconstruction. The three-dimensional tracks produced can be subject to ambiguities due multiplicity signatures detector or leakage signal between neighbor...

background: radon, thoron and their progenies are the most important contributions to human exposure from natural sources. radon exists in soil gas, building materials, indoor atmosphere etc. among all the natural sources of radiation dose to human beings, inhalation of radon contributes a lot. the work presented here emphasizes the long term measurements of radon, thoron and their progeny conc...

In this contribution we present new developments and results for the LIT track reconstruction package for CBM in the CbmRoot framework. The reconstruction package is organized to be flexible with respect to feasibility studies of different physics channels and to optimization of the detector geometries. The tracking software has been redesigned to make it more general and to simplify the suppor...

I am happy to announce today that the Department’s proposal to set up a Dr Homi Bhabha National Institute has been approved. This will bring together ten premier institutions all over the country under a single research-driven framework. This will help ensure that our scientists and our scientific establishments remain at the forefront of the pursuit of excellence, comparable with the best glob...
