Abstract
In accordance with the global strengthening of security systems for the safety of the shipping and logistics industry, the development of core technologies within the field has become a key in the establishment of Korea's own national logistics security system. Further in line with these global developments, there is growing attention within Korea to the development of portable radiation detectors capable of detecting gamma ray nuclides. In addition, many parts are becoming localized. In this research, instead of Pulse Shaping Board, which is used in existing portable radiation detectors, we have implemented an Algorithm to discriminate nuclides and correct the temperature conversion efficiency of the scintillator. This paper aims to improve the performance of these devices through the implementation of a temperature conversional algorithm within the scintillator of the A9-based digital portable radiation detector.
