Table 2. Dose rate stabilization times.
NOTE
Dose rate readings may need additional time to stabilize on
a lower value after high radiation levels, due to afterglow of
scintillators in the solid-state sensors.
NOTE
The instrument is not sensitive to neutrons. This has been
tested using thermal neutrons from a moderated
source. The response was found to be less than 5 % of the
neutron ambient dose equivalent.
Peak dose rate
NOTE
The instrument detects muons, created when interstellar high
energy particles from the Milky Way crashes into the Earth's
atmosphere. The muons interact with the solid-state sensors
(when measuring with lid) and create short (1–2 s) dose rate
pulses of approximately 100 times background. At sea level,
