Title: Reconstruction of Fluxes of Radioactive Sources with a Medipix2 Pixel Detector using Track Recognition

Abstract

A Medipix2 device was exposed to radioactive sources ({sup 241}Am, {sup 137}Cs and {sup 106}Ru). To test the reliability of track recognition with this device, the activities of the radioactive sources were extracted from the experimental data and compared to the expected activities.
