Characteristics of Tropopause Polar Vortices Based on Observations Over The Greenland Ice Sheet
(2018-12-14)Tropopause Polar Vortices (TPVs) are long-lived, coherent vortices that are identified by closed material contours of potential temperature on the dynamic tropopause. They are characterized by PV anomalies that spend most ... -
Compact silicon PIN photodiode sensor for secondary cosmic ray detection at aviation altitudes
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)Exposure to radiation caused by cosmic rays and solar events in space poses a threat to human health and travel in space. Current dosimeters for monitoring crew radiation dosage are often expensive and bulky. We propose a ... -
Effect of space radiation on composite material that was internal and external of the pressurized volume on the International Space Station (ISS)
(2022-07)The focus of this study will be on the effects that radiation environments on ISS have on composite coupons. Coupons from two different experimental programs HiMassSEE and MISSE-11 were used to run testing on. The HiMassSEE ... -
Modeling the ionizing radiation environment in Earth's atmosphere
(2021-05)The constant bombardment of the Earth by cosmic radiation leads to an atmospheric radiation environment comprised of many species of energetic secondary particle. Aside from carrying out full Monte Carlo simulations from ... -
Open source radiation hardened standard cell library and EDA flow
(2022-05)The development of integrated circuits (ICs) has historically had a high cost of entry due to the cost of licensing industry standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and the Intellectual Property (IP) of semiconductor ... -
Radiation testing of electronics for the CMS endcap muon system
(2012-09-18)The electronics used in the data readout and triggering system for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator at CERN are exposed to high radiation levels. This ... -
Scintillation detector for gamma spectroscopy
(2018-11-29)This project is documentation of a scintillator radiation detector for gamma spectroscopy. Gamma radiation causes a scintillator crystal to illuminate, which is captured and converted to an electrical signal. The detector ...
