Additional information
This paper reports the design, development and airborne flight trials of a solid state silicon-based dosimeter for the complex aircraft radiation environment. The pre-calibrated solid-state detector agrees well with the reference instrument, a gas filled Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter, but the new monitor is a factor 4 lower in mass and volume. The work confirms that compact, rugged, solid state dosimeters offer a practical route for routine on-board aircrew and passenger dosimetry which is currently lacking. In particular, such an approach can also measure the effects of unpredictable solar events and can also provide a warning signal for pilots.
