Radiation monitoring is one of the most important process in all places where radioactive material is used including hospital. In this preliminary study, we made GAS electron multiplier (GEM) detector and acquired relative efficiencies in order to see if GEM detector can be useful in radiation monitoring system. The relative efficiency was acquired by using the ratio of GEM detector efficiency to CdTe detector efficiency. The relative efficiency of 72% and 4% was acquired for beta-ray and gamma-ray respectively.

There were many studies on the development of radiation measuring instruments to detect the presence of radiation. In particular, the signal processing method and treatment without loss of the detection signal are very important. The common feature for these studies is the peak-hold method that keeps the peak value of input signal uniform for a short time, readouts its value, discharges electrical value, and then waits for next signal. We propose the new methodology to capture the pulse peak value from the radiation detector and read the value directly other than peak-hold method. This method has merit of accurate reading the input signal pulse peak value without complicate process of holding for a period or initializing of input signal, and then be verified to be adequate through simulation of actual example.

In this paper, we propose a wide-range radiation measurement system using GM Tube and NaI(TI) detector. The proposed system is designed as a small module optimized to control and count the detector signal of NaI(Tl) Detector and GM Tube. The radiation dose is measured in a wide-range 0.1uSv/h to 10mSv/h in conjunction with two detectors, and two detectors operate simultaneously at 10uSv/h to 100uSv/h, where the measurement interval overlaps. The radiation dose was selected using a wide-range radiation measurement algorithm that controls the on/off function of the detector in the appropriate interval for the overlapped radiation measurable interval. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, it has been confirmed that the measurement uncertainty of each section is measured as ${\pm}7.5%$ and it operates normally under ${\pm}15%$ of the international standard.

A spectrum-exposure rate conversion operator G(E) for a portable HPGe detector used for field environmental radiation survey was theoretically developed on the basis of a space distribution function of gamma flux emitted from a disk source and an areal efficiency of the detector. The radiation exposure rates measured using this G(E) and the portable HPGe. detector connected to a portable multichannel analyzer were compared with those measured by a 3' ${\phi}\;{\times}$3' NaI(Tl) scintillation detector with the reported G(E) and a pressurized ionization chamber. A comparison of the three results showed that the result obtained using the HPGe detector was lower than those determined using the NaI(Tl) detector and ionization chamber by 17% to 29%, The difference obtained is close to that reported in literature. The method developed here can be easily applicable to obtain a G(E) factor suitable to any detector for detecting the exposure rate of environmental gamma radiation, since the spectrum-exposure rate conversion operator can be calculated by a hand calculator.

본 연구에서는 X-ray 영상을 얻기 위한 검출기 중 직접 검출방식에 쓰이고 있는 광도전체(Photoconductor)의 전극으로 Au를 사용하여 전기적인 특성을 파악하였다. Au는 유기물에 대한 반응이 적고 전기 전도도가 좋은 물질로서 투명전극으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 인듐 주석 산화물(ITO)을 대체할 수 있는 물질로 각광받고 있다. 우선 시편 제작을 위해 투명한 기판(Corning Glass, 0.7t)위에 하부전극으로 Au를 $3cm{\times}3cm$의 크기로 Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD) 방식을 이용하여 증착하였다. 이 때 챔버 내 저진공은 Rotary Pump를 이용하여 $3.9{\times}10-2Torr$ 이하를 유지하고 고진공은 Diffusion Pump를 이용하여 $5.3{\times}10-5Torr$ 이하를 유지하였다. 완성된 하부전극 위에 광도전체인 $HgI_2$를 폴리머 물질에 교반하여 메탈 폴리머 결합을 가진 Paste를 제조하고 이 Paste를 Screen Printing Method를 이용하여 증착 후 건조하였다. 마지막으로 시편위에 상부전극을 하부전극과 같은 조건으로 증착함으로서 시편을 완성한다. 상하부 전극으로 쓰이는 Au의 증착 조건을 변화시키면서 그에 따른 시편의 전기적인 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과, Au의 증착온도와 질량에 따라 특성이 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 디지털 방사선 검출기에서 Au 전극의 적용 가능성을 확인하였으며, 추후 Au 증착 조건의 최적화를 통해 방사선 검출기의 효율 향상을 위한 연구를 하고자 한다.
