Dosimetric plugin for Pixelman software using Timepix device for measurement on ISS
Original language description
The radiation environment in space is different, more complex and intense than on Earth. Conventional devices and detection methods used nowadays have poor resolving power and narrow dynamic range. The reason is that most of the dose comes from energeticcosmic rays in the form of heavy ions, mainly protons, that are not present on the ground. The software measures track of particles and their deposited energy and distinguishes different particles. This information is used for sorting the particles intodifferent categories. It is possible to distinguish light charged particles such as electrons or heavy charged particles such as ions. Moreover, the Linear Energy Transfer (LET) for charged particles is determined. Each category is assigned a quality factor corresponding to the energy a particle would deposit in human tissue. By summing the dose of all particles an estimate of the total dose rate can be calculated. The software also controls data acquisition, adjusts the acquisition tim
