Dependence of the detection threshold of a radiation monitor on the number of detectors and processing criteria

The results of an investigation of the effect of the number of local detectors in stationary radiation monitors and their count combinations (criteria) on the detection threshold assuming an equally probable distribution of the radioactive material in the controlled space are presented. A parameter...

Description
Summary:The results of an investigation of the effect of the number of local detectors in stationary radiation monitors and their count combinations (criteria) on the detection threshold assuming an equally probable distribution of the radioactive material in the controlled space are presented. A parameter is proposed for making quantitative comparisons of the effectiveness of the same radiation monitor with a different number of detectors, criteria and background is proposed.
