  • Method and system for determining radiation shielding thickness and gamma-ray energy
    Patent number: 9212905
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the shielding thickness of a detected radiation source. The gamma ray spectrum of a radiation detector is utilized to estimate the shielding between the detector and the radiation source. The determination of the shielding may be used to adjust the information from known source-localization techniques to provide improved performance and accuracy of locating the source of radiation.
    Type: Grant
