Abstract :
By measuring both activity and energy of X-rays and gamma-radiation, a spectroscopic dosimeter provides an accurate estimate of biological damage due to ionizing radiation. A multi-channel-analyzer (MCA) mixed-signal integrated circuit is in development to achieve a small form factor, and the low power consumption needed for this portable battery operated device.
