Wireless Backpack System for Detection of Radioactive Cesium on Contaminated Soil Using Portable Plastic Scintillator with Efficient Readout Device

The miniaturization and usability of radiation detectors make it increasingly possible to use mobile instruments to detect and monitor gamma radiations. Here, a Bluetooth-based mobile detection system for integrated interaction in a backpack was designed and implemented to smart equipment for the de...
