Measurements and Standards for Bulk-Explosive Detection

May 31, 2012
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, Fred B. Bateman, Paul M. Bergstrom, Frank Cerra, Jack L. Glover, Ronaldo Minniti, Stephen M. Seltzer, Ronald E. Tosh
Due to the ease of assembly and leveraged disruptive effect, the improvised explosive device (IED) is the method of choice of today’s terrorist. With more than ten thousand IED incidents annually, and global expenditures for aviation and commercial

Effect of Neutron Irradiation on Dosimetric Properties of the TLD-600H (Lif6:Mg,Cu,P)

November 1, 2011
Author(s)
Alexander A. Romanyukha, Ronaldo Minniti, M. Moscovitch, Alan Keith Thompson, F. Trompier, Ronald Colle, A Sucheta, S. P. Voss, L. A. Benevides
Ideally, dosimeters should measure the dose without their dosimetric properties being affected by the radiation type being measured. Industry-wide occupational radiation workers that can be potentially exposed to neutron radiation fields are routinely

The results of the 25 participants of the EUROMET.RI(I)-K1 and EUROMET.RI(I)-K4 key comparisons are reported to support their relevant CMC claims being published or going to be published by the participant laboratories. The measured quantities were the air

Treatment of Uncertainties in Radiation Dosimetry

August 18, 2009
Author(s)
Michael G. Mitch, Larry DeWerd, Ronaldo Minniti, J Williamson
When one perform a physical measurement or a Monte Carlo simulation and obtains a numerical result, the following questions may be asked. How accurate is the result? Is the measurement or simulation method of high quality? Can the result be meaningfully

Absorbed Dose to Water Calibration of Ionization Chambers in a 60 Co Gamma-Ray Beam

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Ronaldo Minniti, J Shobe, Stephen M. Seltzer, Huaiyu H. Chen-Mayer, S R. Domen
Absorbed-dose-to-water calibrations are important to the medical community to facilitate the accurate determination of doses delivered to tumors during external-beam cancer therapy. The first version of this document offered an absorbed-dose-to-water
