Cellulose nitrate 의 ${\alpha}$입자비적특성(粒子飛跡特性), 특(特)히 화학부식조건(化學腐蝕條件)에 따른 ${\alpha}$입자(粒子)의 비적직경(飛跡直徑)을 중심(中心)으로 연구(硏究)하였다. Cellulose nitrate의 KOH 용액부식(溶液腐蝕)때에는 동일(同一)한 부식조건하에(腐蝕條件下)에서 NaOH 경우보다 ${\alpha}$비적직경(飛跡直徑)이 약(約) 3배(培) 크게 나타났다. 그밖에 부식시간(腐蝕時間) 및 ${\alpha}$입자(粒子)의 에너지에 따른 비적직경(飛跡直徑)의 데이타를 얻었고, ${\alpha}$입자(粒子)의 조사조건(照射條件)이 같을 때 흘루언스율(率)(fluence rate)이 부식시간(腐蝕時間)에 무관(無關)함을 알았다.

Alpha track analysis for the determination of the trace amount of alpha emitting nuclides in a very small particle was performed as an efficient and powerful technique during safeguard inspection. Metal particles with well-defined spherical shape, size and isotopic compositions as a reference material were used to correlate the number of tracks or track diameter with an isotopic composition eventually to identify the uranium enrichment in the environmental swipe samples. Slopes in the number of tracks versus the exposure time curve provide a simple insight into the uranium enrichment of an unknown particle. Low enriched uranium metal particles result in slopes still steeper than the depleted or natural uranium metal particles. In addition, a linear relationship between track diameter and particle size Is thought to be a useful first stage analytical tool as an efficient and convenient inspection guide. The significance of the simple linear model was also judged using the usual statistical tests.

Alpha track technology can provide useful isotopic information of boron in the primary coolant water. In the quantitative analysis using the alpha track analysis, the shape or area of sample on the solid track detector becomes very important, especially for the analysis of liquid samples. In this research, a multi-dot plate has been developed for this purpose. The multi-dot plate provides fixed standard shape of the sample solution that stays inside of the printed circle, and consequently increases the reproducibility of the boron analysis.

The recognition of the natural background radiation is important not only for radiological education but also for the promotion of people's scientific view about radiation. We made a "room" on the web showing natural background radiation as part of a VRM (Virtual Radiation Museum). The "room" shows the video images of the tracks of charged particles from natural background radiation, alpha and beta ray track from known sources using a Large Scale Diffusion Cloud Chamber. The purpose of this study is to make clear the origin of a kind of track (named A-track) which is thick and easy to recognize with the length less than several cm in the cloud chamber, and to make numerical explanation of its counting rate. The study was carried out using a Large Scale Diffusion Cloud Chamber (Phywe, Germany) installed in the Niigata Science Museum. The Model RNC (Pylon Electronics, Canada) was used as Rn-222 source. Ra-226 activity in RNC was 111.6 Bq calibrated with NIST protocol. Rn-222 gas was injected into the cloud chamber. Continuous video recording with use of Digital Handycam (SONY, Japan) was carried out for 360 min. after injection of Rn-222 gas. The number of alpha-ray track (alpha track) in the video images was analyzed. The growth and decay curve of the total activity of Rn-222 and its alpha emitting progeny were calculated and compared with the count of the alpha tracks. As a result the alpha tracks formed by Rn-222 injection resemble A-Tracks. The relationship between A-track in the cloud chamber and atmospheric Rn is discussed.

The determination of the boron isotopic ratio in solutions was achieved by means of a solid state track detector by using an alpha track. The neutron flux was optimized by using a Cd-foil to find the optimum conditions for counting the number of alpha tracks on the selected solid detector caused by the (n, $\alpha$) nuclear reaction of boron. The home-made multi-dot detector plate was utilized in this study to increase the reproducibility of the measurement by uniformly drying the boron solution within the marked circle area on the detector plate. The experimental results of this study verified that the $^{11}B/^{10}B $ isotopic ratio can be measured by observing the number of alpha tracks for different concentrated standard solutions with various isotopic compositions. This technique was applied to the determination of $^{10}B$ enrichment factor in a biological sample for a boron neutron capture therapy.

Automotive Radar Systems are currently under development for various applications to increase accuracy and reliability. The target tracking is most important in single or multiple target environments for accuracy. The tracking algorithm provides smoothed and predicted data for target position and velocity(Doppler). To this end, the fixed gain filter(${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter, ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ filter) and dynamic filter(Kalman filter, Singer-Kalman filter, etc) are commonly used. Gating is used to decide whether an observation is assigned to an existing track or new track. Gating algorithms are normally based on computing a statistical error distance between an observation and prediction. The data association takes the observation-to-track pairings that satisfied gating and determines which observation-to-track assignment will actually be made. For data association, NNPDA(Nearest Neighbor Probabilistic Data Association) algorithm is proposed. In this paper, we designed a target tracking system developed for an Automotive Radar System. We show the experimental results of the 77GHz FMCW radar sensor on the roads. Four tracking algorithms(${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter, ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ filter, 2nd order Kalman filter, Singer-Kalman filter) have been compared and analyzed to evaluate the performance in test scenario.

본 논문은 위상배열 레이더를 사용하여 실제표적을 추적하였을 때 추적 정확도를 평가하기 위한 알고리듬 연구이다. 실표적에 대한 추적 정확도를 평가하기 위해서는 실표적 위치에 대한 정보가 있어야 하지만, 시험비용 및 시험시간의 증대로 인해 위상배열 레이더에서 획득된 데이터만을 사용하여 실표적의 정확도를 평가하는 알고리듬을 제시한다. 이러한 평가 알고리듬은 위상배열 레이더에서 사용된 ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ 추적필터의 잔차로부터 추적 정확도의 지표인 거리오차와 각도 오차의 표준편차를 도출한 결과이며, 통계적 방법으로 sample variance 개념을 사용하게 된다.

알파비적밀도의 이론계산방법을 개발하기 위하여 정전기방법을 이용한 분광계를 특별히 설계 제작하였다. 이 정전기분광계를 사용하여 라돈의 첫째딸핵종인 Po-218의 이온에 대해 $0.07{\sim}5.0cm^2/V\;sec$ 범위의 이동도스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 이 측정은 실리카겔, 활성탄, 분자구조의 시브필터를 통과한 탈입자가스를 사용하는 라돈쳄버내에서 수행되었다. 제작된 정전기분광계를 사용하여 쳄버내에서 새로 생성된 Po-218이온의 이동도는 $1.92cm^2/V\;s$인 것으로 측정되었다. 알파비적밀도의 이론적계산방법에 의해 얻어진 결과를 측정에 의해 얻어진 결과와 비교하였으며 측정된 스펙트럼에 관계된 불확실도를 분석하였다. 이론계산방법에 의해 얻어진 알파비적밀도와 측정된 값과의 차이에 대한 이유는 이론계산방법에서 이온의 라돈 쳄버에서의 벽제거효과를 고려하지 않았기 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다.
