It was found that after UV-C irra.diation, OSL was produced on a wide band of visible wavelengths with decay time that varied by several orders of magnitude depending on the Eu2+ aggregation state. In spite of the low intensity of solar UV-C reaching the Earth's surface in Madrid (40° N, 700 m a.s.1.), it was possible to measure the UV-C radiation dose at 6:48 solar time by using the TL response of the KCI:Eu2+ system and differentiate it from the ambient beta radiation dose.展开更多

Determination of crucial environmental characteristic sometimes detrimental for the mission health may be further delayed by duration of subsequent data analysis. We propose a fast method used in-flight to assess the electron total ionizing dose and dose rate onboard of the JUICE ESA mission to JUPITER. The procedure provides estimated values of dose rate behind various thickness of shielding using counting rates from the electron telescope EHD of the RADEM radiation hard electron monitor instrument onboard JUICE.展开更多
