Dataset for Accessing Cosmic Radiation as an Entropy Source for a Non-Deterministic Random Number Generator

<p>The dataset contains all gathered data from the&nbsp;experiment from Wednesday, March 16, 2022 11:58:41.929 AM UTC+0 (1647431921929) until Sunday, April 3, 2022 1:08:35.353 PM UTC+0 (1648991315353). The experiment was executed during physical presence within the Arctic Circle in Troms&oslash;, Norway&nbsp;69&deg; 40&#39; 53.117&#39;&#39; N 18&deg; 58&#39; 36.027&#39;&#39; E&nbsp;at 35m elevation above sea level. The dataset was gathered with a prototype [1] based on the CREDO android application [2]. The main research is to use Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) as an entropy source for a Random Bit Generator (RBG).&nbsp;</p> <p>The associated publication will probably have the title &quot;Accessing Cosmic Radiation as an Entropy Source for a&nbsp;Non-Deterministic Random Number Generator&quot;</p> <p>In order to reproduce the results the SQLite3 database &quot;mrng_arctic_experiment_2022.db&quot; is needed. To get the visual representations of the detections use&nbsp;&quot;image_decoding_and_codesnippets.py&quot; to generate the cleaned (414 detections / ~15MB) or the uncleaned (5567 detections / ~195 MB) dataset. The compressed folder &quot;raw_data_incl_space_weather.7z&quot; contains all raw data as gathered with the MRNG prototype, unprocessed, uncleaned, and unmerged.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[1] https://github.com/StefanKutschera/mrng-prototype, visited on 27.03.2023</p> <p>[2] https://github.com/credo-science/credo-detector-android, visited on 27.03.2023</p>
