Knowledge and measurements of the space radiation field in outer space are valuable for science and applied research (space weather, earth-solar physics) as well as satellite industry engineering and spacecraft operations. Radiation effects on spacecraft components and electronics [1] are becoming increasingly sensitive to the varying characteristics and large gradients of the harsh space...

In the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), understanding the distribution of radiation sources and identifying radioactive hotspots—areas with localized high concentrations of radiation sources—is crucial for developing a detailed decontamination plan and minimizing worker exposure. To address this, we are developing a system and method for remotely locating...

Recently, a novel design for an X-ray source based on Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) has produced first light. Based on a linear X-band accelerator, the interaction of the electron bunch with an energy up to 25 MeV and the infrared laser pulse produced pulses of X-rays with a relatively small spectral bandwidth. The linear design is particularly useful to tune the X-ray energy, enabling...

Space weather poses significant hazards for space travelers beyond low Earth orbit, particularly during large solar energetic particle events (SEPs), which can result in acute radiation exposures, especially during lightly shielded activities such as extravehicular activities (EVAs).
There has been great progress in recent years in the development of ‘nowcasting’ models that provide early...
