Wireless radiation monitoring system for particle accelerators

This thesis describes the implementation of a wireless, battery-powered radiation monitoring system for particle accelerators. The system is based around a sensor node using a floating-gate dosimeter and static random-access memories as radiation sensor. Data is transmitted using LoRaWAN, which enables long communication range without excessive infrastructure costs. The sensor node is modular, allowing reuse of the microcontroller-based platform for other purposes than radiation measurement. Furthermore, a suitable database schema and user interface for data retrieval are presented. The work concludes by discussing results of performed tests, including in radiation-test facilities and in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel.
