Abstract:
The data described consists of radiation measurement outputs from several different detectors located in Abu Dhabi, UAE, for the duration of 30 November 2014 through 13 December 2016. This data could be useful for anyone studying radiation count rate or spectroscopic changes over a multi year period from various radiation sources and measurement systems. The outputs of the measurement systems include 1) counts per 20 min from a Geiger-Muller detector measuring 90Sr, 2) counts per 20 min from a Geiger-Muller detector measuring 204Tl, 3) radiation spectra per 30 min from a NaI detector measuring 60Co, 4) radiation spectra per 30 min from a NaI detector measuring 54Mn, 5) radiation spectra per 30 min from a liquid scintillation detector measuring 226Ra, 6) counts per 30 min from a liquid scintillation detector measuring 14C, and room pressure, temperature, and humidity data every 10 min. A detailed description of the setup of each of these measurement systems can be found in "Experimental Setup and Commissioning Baseline Study in Search of Time-Variations in Beta-Decay Half-Lives" [1].
