摘要
Measurements of the natural radiation background with different devices and at various conditions are important from a methodological point of view in order to compare and eventually inter-calibrate different experimental sets, also to provide a reliable basis for improving the existing models for assessment of the environmental radiation in the Earth's atmosphere. Here, we report results from methodological measurements with a small portable device, namely mobile dosimetry unit (MDU)-1 Liulin, performed in different conditions in the Arctic region, including the altitude profile of the atmospheric radiation obtained during the flight of the HEMERA-2 zero-pressure balloon. A comparison with a calibrated device is also performed. It was demonstrated that the MDU-1 Liulin can provide reliable measurements of the radiation background in the Arctic atmosphere during a zero-pressure balloon flight.
