ABSTRACT

In 2009, the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) launched a project involving the establishment of the first radiation detector laboratory in Saudi Arabia. This project aims to design, develop, and operate several multi-purpose radiation detectorsdetectors, as well as to establish collaboration with international institutions to facilitate the transfer of technological knowledge to Saudi scientists. Since the project was launched, several radiation detectors that employ different techniques have been developed by the KACST-based researchers or through their collaboration with international institutes. Data obtained by these detectors are of great importance in several applications, such as in cosmic raycosmic-ray modulation and in solar-terrestrialsolar–terrestrial interaction research. This paper describes the detectors developed thus far and presents some of the obtained results.

摘要

2009年，阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王科技城（KACST）启动了一个项目，其中涉及在沙特阿拉伯建立第一个辐射探测器实验室。该项目旨在设计，开发和运行多个多功能辐射探测器，并与国际机构建立合作关系，以促进向沙特科学家转让技术知识。自项目启动以来，基于KACST的研究人员或与国际机构合作开发了几种采用不同技术的辐射探测器。这些探测器获得的数据在多种应用中非常重要，例如在宇宙射线宇宙射线调制中以及在太阳-地面也与地球之间的相互作用研究中。
