The scientific unit of measurement for radiation dose, commonly referred to as effective dose, is the millisievert (mSv)
Dose. Energy Gained Particles lose energy in matter. Eventually energy loss is due to ionization. An important measure is the amount of energy gained.

Muon tomography

Fl. Tech Concept – MT with MPGDs Use Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors for tracking cosmic ray muons ADVANTAGES: excellent spatial resolution improves scattering angle measurement compact detector structure allows for more compact MT station design thin detector layers small gaps between layers smaller scattering in detector itself CHALLENGES: requires large-area MPGDs (MPGDs as muon detector !) large number of electronics channels (but occupancies very low) low rates from cosmics, need good eff. cost (but access to funding outside HEP) That’s why we’re here today! Cargo container MPGD Tracking Detector hidden & shielded high-Z nuclear material μ Θ Θ MPGD, e.g. GEM Detector MPGD Tracking Detector ~ 1 cm e- μ tracks Readout electronics F. Sauli
