Congratulations to Our Colleagues on Receiving a Patent!
The JINR Department of Licenses and Intellectual Property announces that on 14 July 2021, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research received a patent for the invention “Method for measuring the intensity of radiation of unidentified composition”. The authors are Georgy Alexandrovich Chelkov, Daniil Dmitrievich Rastorguev, Vladislav Andreevich Rozhkov and Elizaveta Alekseevna Cherepanova.
More about the invention
The invention refers to nuclear radiation measurements. The method to measure the intensity of radiation of unidentified composition consists in that radiation passes through at least two detectors and a processing system. The detectors have sensitive elements of different volume. With the processing system, including a microcontroller, the total radiation intensity and the ratio of contributions of charged and neutral components of the radiation is determined according to the correlation between counting rates in different detectors.
The invention determines fractions of charged and neutral particles in radiation from any sources directly during irradiation.
