Gamma Radiation Measurement

This thesis is focused on detection of ionizing radiation, especially gamma radiation. In its theoretical part the issue is presented and the most common detector types (gas filled, scintillation and semiconductor detectors) are analysed. In its practical part the parameters of the chosen sensor HDS-100GN are verified with a focus on its capability of dynamical measurement. The robot Orpheus-X3 equipped with the precise RTK-GNSS receiver was used in the realization of the experiment. The analysis of the measurement results furthermore covers conversion of geographical coordinates to distance, determination of latency, conversion of measured value to dose rate and comparison with theoretical assumptions were solved. Formation of an area radiation map is also concerned. Direction-sensitive detection of gamma radiation is also studied in this thesis
