Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Recent Innovations in Radiation Detectors" aims to gather the latest research, achievements, and innovations in radiation detectors. Radiation detectors play a crucial role in many fields of science and industry, including medicine, energy, environmental protection, scientific research, and safety. This issue discusses scientific advancements in new materials, detection techniques, advanced signal processing algorithms, innovative radiation detector applications, and simulations to enhance detector design and performance. Additionally, integrating the citizen science paradigm in radiation detection is encouraged, broadening participation and data collection.

We encourage submitting papers covering both theoretical and practical aspects of radiation detection. These include but are not limited to:

  • Radiation detectors;
  • Radiation detection techniques;
  • New materials for radiation detection;
  • Signal processing;
  • Applications of radiation detectors;
  • Medical diagnostics;
  • Environmental monitoring;
  • Nuclear safety;
  • Innovations in radiation detectors;
  • Particle physics;
  • Astronomy;
  • Cosmic radiation detection;
  • High-energy particle detection;
  • Astrophysical and cosmological research;
  • Distributed radiation detector networks;
  • AI algorithms;
  • Automatic anomaly detection;
  • Trend prediction in radiation detection;
  • Citizen science;
  • Seismic activity;
  • Mobile detectors.

The Special Issue "Recent Innovations in Radiation Detectors" is highly relevant to the scope of the journal Sensors, which is dedicated to the research and development of various types of sensors and detection technologies.

Radiation detectors are a vital category of sensors applied in numerous fields, such as medicine, energy, environmental protection, scientific research, and safety. The Special Issue covers innovations in new materials, detection techniques, advanced signal processing algorithms, and novel applications and simulations aimed at enhancing the design and performance of detectors, all of which are within the focus areas of Sensors.

Additionally, integrating the citizen science paradigm in radiation detection aligns with the objectives of Sensors. This approach encourages broader participation and data collection, reflecting the journal's commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research and innovative technologies in sensor development.

Ambient dose rate surveying has the objective, in most cases, to quantify terrestrial radiation levels. This is true in particular for Citizen Monitoring projects. Readings of detectors, which do not provide spectrally resolved information, such as G-M counters, are the sum of contributions from different sources, including cosmic radiation. To estimate the terrestrial component, one has to subtract the remaining ones. In this paper, we investigate the cosmic response of two particular monitors, the bGeigie Nano, which has been used extensively in the Safecast Citizen Monitoring project, and its upgraded version, the new CzechRad, which uses the same G-M detector, and show how the local contribution of cosmic radiation can be estimated.
