| Zusammenfassung | The NAVIgation DOsimetry System (NAVIDOS) comprises a complete readout system for a radiation detector, an air pressure sensor and a GPS receiver. The detector system DOSTEL uses silicon detectors which make NAVIDOS light weighted and compact in size. Therefore, NAVIDOS is well suited to be installed on board aircraft. The calibration of NAVIDOS in terms of ambient dose equivalent is done by an in-field comparison with the PTB reference instrument πDOS. We also show that the dependence of these results on the vertical cut-off rigidity can be explained by the low response of the silicon detectors for neutrons. Therefore, in-flight measurements have been performed together with the PTB reference instrument πDOS. The dose rates, calculated using the PTB code FDOScalc, were verified with these πDOS measurements. The calibration of NAVIDOS was done with FDOScalc and results in calibration factors between 3.4 in the polar and 2.4 in the equator region. |
