Objectives:
This project focuses on the construction and commissioning of a Compact Gamma-ray and Neutron Counter (C-GRNC) prototype, building upon the insights gained from MSc Project #1 and MSc Project #2. The primary goal is to develop a functional and efficient prototype that can be integrated into ground-based and planetary-based rovers for advanced radiation detection and analysis.
Key Tasks:
- Integration and Testing: Assemble the C-GRNC prototype with the chosen scintillator and geometry.
- Calibration and Commissioning: Develop a comprehensive calibration protocol to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the prototype's measurements. Commission the C-GRNC for practical use in radiation detection scenarios.
- Integration with Rovers: Collaborate with relevant rover development projects to integrate the C-GRNC prototype into ground-based and planetary-based rovers, enhancing their capabilities for environmental analysis and radiation detection.
By undertaking this project, we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical design considerations and practical implementation. The C-GRNC prototype will serve as a valuable tool for future rover missions, enabling enhanced radiation detection and contributing to our understanding of environmental conditions on Earth and beyond.
