Purpose

Scripts for analyzing and visualizing radiation measurement data from ionization chamber sensor.

Content

Single Sample Analysis (radiation_analysis_single.R)

Purpose:

Analyzes a single radiation sample, producing:

Time series plot of radiation counts

Histogram of radiation distribution

Input

A CSV file (data.csv) with two columns:

Time: Timestamps in %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%OS format

Voltage: Measured voltage from ionization chamber

Output

Two image files (PNG and SVG) with the filename pattern: radiation_analysis_single_.

Usage

Place your data in data.csv in the same directory

Run the script:

Rscript radiation_analysis_single.R

Multi-Sample Comparison (radiation_analysis_multi.R)

Purpose

Compares radiation levels across multiple samples using boxplots.

Input

Multiple CSV files (configured in the script) each containing:

Time: Timestamps (optional, used for footer)

Voltage: Radiation counts (required)

Output

Two image files (PNG and SVG) with the pattern: radiation_comparison_.

Usage

Configure samples in the radiation_analysis_multi.R script (search for line shown below)

samples <- list( background = list(file = "DataNoSample.csv", name = "Background Radiation"), americium = list(file = "DataSample1.csv", name = "Am-241 (Smoke Detector)"), radium = list(file = "DataSample2.csv", name = "Ra-226 (Old Compass)") )

Run the script:

Rscript radiation_analysis_multi.R
