Abstract

Though thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are one of the most commonly used and well-known radiation detectors in the industry today, they do not typically provide real-time feedback. A radiation detector that could alert users in real-time and that is small enough to fit in a pocket would be very useful for those who work near sources of radiation or to counter radiation weapons. In this project, a compact, low-power, portable detector is being developed to provide real-time radiation detection and discrimination that allows the user to vary the threshold and sensitivity of detection based on the radiation intensity.
