Measurements of natural radiation with an MDU Liulin type device at ground and in the atmosphere at various conditions in the Arctic region

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.
