| 内容記述 | The Mir Orbital Station provided a unique platform on which to carry out a variety of space radiation dosimetry measurements. A number of experiments were conducted using a combination of passive detectors on the interior of the Mir during 1996-97. Thermoluminescent detectors were used to measure absorbed dose. CR-39 plastic nuclear track detectors were used to measure the LET spectra > or =5 keV.microm(-1). Results from TLDs and CR-39 PNTDs were combined to determine total dose and dose equivalent. Mean dose rate was found to decrease while mean dose equivalent rate and average quality factor increased with increasing shielding. Secondary particles from proton-induced target fragmentation interactions, not primary HZE particles, were found to be the largest contributor to the LET spectrum above 100 keV.microm(-1). During the 1997 measurements, mean quality factor was found to vary from 1.7 to 2.1 as a function of location within the Mir. |
