Abstract

Measurements of cosmic radiation dose rates (from the neutron and the non-neutron components) on board passenger aircraft were performed using environmental packages with thermoluminescent TL and CR-39 etched track detectors. The packages were calibrated at the CERN-EU high-energy Reference Field Facility and evaluated at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow (TL + CR-39) and at the German Aerospace Centre in Cologne (CR-39). Detector packages were exposed on board passenger aircraft operated by LOT Polish Airlines, flown between February and May 2001. The values of effective dose rate determined, averaged over the measuring period, ranged between 2.9 and 4.4 microSv h(-1). The results of environmental measurements agreed to within 10% with values calculated from the CARI-6 code.

摘要

利用配备热释光（TL）探测器和CR - 39蚀刻径迹探测器的环境监测包，对客机上的宇宙辐射剂量率（来自中子和非中子成分）进行了测量。这些监测包在欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）-欧盟高能参考场设施进行了校准，并在克拉科夫的核物理研究所（TL + CR - 39）和科隆的德国航空航天中心（CR - 39）进行了评估。探测器包于2001年2月至5月期间在波兰 LOT 航空公司运营的客机上进行了暴露。在测量期间确定的有效剂量率值，经平均后在2.9至4.4微希沃特每小时（μSv h⁻¹）之间。环境测量结果与根据CARI - 6代码计算的值在10%以内相符。
