  1. Measurement of Ionizing Radiation in the site region Edgar Casimiro Linares (DCI-UG) Arnulfo Zepeda (CINVESTAV-IPN) Humberto Martinez (BUAP)

  2. On last group trip to the site (Aug 27 2009) we (A. Zepeda, H. Martinez and E. Casimiro) took a Geiger Counter with us. • We (rather quickly) measured the Ionizing Radiation levels at four different points along the way up the site.

  3. First Point • At the gas station just after the toll La Esperanza Ionizing Radiation in the Site Region, ECL, AZD, HM, HAWC Meeting, IF-UNAM, 8 Sep 2009

  4. Second Point • At La Pluma Ionizing Radiation in the Site Region, ECL, AZD, HM, HAWC Meeting, IF-UNAM, 8 Sep 2009

  5. Third Point Halfway between Plumaand the Working Site Ionizing Radiation in the Site Region, ECL, AZD, HM, HAWC Meeting, IF-UNAM, 8 Sep 2009

  6. Four Point at the Working Site Ionizing Radiation in the Site Region, ECL, AZD, HM, HAWC Meeting, IF-UNAM, 8 Sep 2009

  7. The Geiger Counter Radiation Alert Inspector Model RAP RS1 S.E. international Inc Ionizing Radiation in the Site Region, ECL, AZD, HM, HAWC Meeting, IF-UNAM, 8 Sep 2009

  8. Counting Rates • We have considered intervals of 300 sec. • At the four measuring points e have put the Geiger with the sensitive window looking up. • At point One and Four we have additionally taken measurements with the Geiger sensitive window looking down.

  11. Conclusions and Comments • We clearly see an increase on the Counting Rate as we go up. • The rates are consistent whether the sensitive window looks up or down. • Accumulate more statistics next time. • Find out height asl at the different points.
