The applicability of using the radio-luminescence of Si-doped Gallium Nitride GaN(Si) for the detection of alpha particles was investigated. Different Americium-241 sources with different activities were used. The results showed that GaN(Si) has an excellent linearity with exposure time and activity. The uncertainty of the repeatability test was found to be less than 2%. In addition, the performance of GaN was compared with ZnS(Ag). Results showed that GaN(Si) is more appropriate for wide range of activities and has no saturation like the response of ZnS(Ag)..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
