Abstract

In this paper, we present alpha-radiation monitoring system software. Detector works in accounting mode that adds some extra features. Possible detector applications such as pedestrian radiation portal monitor or portable alpha contamination dosimeter are presented. Detector is based on air ion method. In view of detector works in accounting mode, it shows high selectivity to alpha particles registration. Alpha selection principle is also shown. Control system and software system are considered in detail.
