BARREL 2F Rate Counter (RCNT) NaI Scintillator Diagnostics, Level 2, 4 s Data
This data product consists of measurements from rate counters. The rate count data are diagnostic fields, have uncalibrated energy ranges, and wrap near or above 16384 counts/s. The rate count values are stored as 4 s accumulations of counts.The BARREL Mission was a multiple-balloon investigation designed to study electron losses from Earth's Radiation Belts. Selected as a NASA Living with a Star Mission of Opportunity, BARREL was designed to augment the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, RBSP, mission by providing measurements of the spatial and temporal variations of electron precipitation from the radiation belts. The RBSP mission has since been renamed the Van Allen Probes mission. Each BARREL balloon carried an X-ray spectrometer to measure the bremsstrahlung X-rays produced by precipitating relativistic electrons as they collide with neutrals in the atmosphere, and a DC magnetometer to measure ULF-timescale variations of the magnetic field. BARREL observations collected near latitudes close to either the antarctic and arctic circles at stratospheric altitudes at about 30 km. The BARREL instrumentation provided the first balloon measurements of relativistic electron precipitation while comprehensive in situ measurements of both plasma waves and energetic particles were available. Also, the BARREL data has been used to characterize the spatial scale of precipitation at relativistic energies.The initial pair of balloon campaigns that were conducted initially during the Austral summer months of January and February of 2013 and 2014 with launches from two stations located in Antarctica: the British base located at Halley Bay on the Brunt Ice Shelf and the South African SANAE IV base (SANAE stand for South African National Antarctic Expedition) located in Vesleskarvet, Queen Maud Land. For the 2013 and 2014 the balloon campaigns, the launch plan was designed to maintain an array with about five payloads spread across about six hours of magnetic local time, MLT, in the region that magnetically maps to the radiation belts. Thus, the BARREL balloon constellation constituted an evolving and slowly moving array able to study relativistic electron precipitation from the radiation belts.Later campaigns were undertaken in 2015 and 2016 from the Esrange Space Center located in Kiruna, Sweden. The 2015 and 2016 campaigns were undertaken in coordination with the Van Allen Probes mission, the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association, EISCAT, incoherent scatter radar system, and other ground and space based instruments. Seven balloon launches occurred during the August 2015 BARREL campaign. A total of eight flights occurred during August 2016.Summing over the four BARREL campaigns, over 50 small, approximately 20 kg, stratospheric balloons were successively launched. The website creeated and hosted by A.J. Halford (see Information URL below) reports that: "By the end of the campaigns, there were over 90 researchers coordinating on a daily basis with the BARREL team working on 7 different satellite missions, 1 other balloon mission, and way too many ground based instruments to count." Although the BARREL mission launched only balloons during the years from 2013 to 2016, research using data collected on these flights is ongoing, so stay tuned for updates!

BARREL 1H Rate Counter (RCNT) NaI Scintillator Diagnostics, Level 2, 4 s Data
This data product consists of measurements from rate counters. The rate count data are diagnostic fields, have uncalibrated energy ranges, and wrap near or above 16384 counts/s. The rate count values are stored as 4 s accumulations of counts.The BARREL Mission was a multiple-balloon investigation designed to study electron losses from Earth's Radiation Belts. Selected as a NASA Living with a Star Mission of Opportunity, BARREL was designed to augment the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, RBSP, mission by providing measurements of the spatial and temporal variations of electron precipitation from the radiation belts. The RBSP mission has since been renamed the Van Allen Probes mission. Each BARREL balloon carried an X-ray spectrometer to measure the bremsstrahlung X-rays produced by precipitating relativistic electrons as they collide with neutrals in the atmosphere, and a DC magnetometer to measure ULF-timescale variations of the magnetic field. BARREL observations collected near latitudes close to either the antarctic and arctic circles at stratospheric altitudes at about 30 km. The BARREL instrumentation provided the first balloon measurements of relativistic electron precipitation while comprehensive in situ measurements of both plasma waves and energetic particles were available. Also, the BARREL data has been used to characterize the spatial scale of precipitation at relativistic energies.The initial pair of balloon campaigns that were conducted initially during the Austral summer months of January and February of 2013 and 2014 with launches from two stations located in Antarctica: the British base located at Halley Bay on the Brunt Ice Shelf and the South African SANAE IV base (SANAE stand for South African National Antarctic Expedition) located in Vesleskarvet, Queen Maud Land. For the 2013 and 2014 the balloon campaigns, the launch plan was designed to maintain an array with about five payloads spread across about six hours of magnetic local time, MLT, in the region that magnetically maps to the radiation belts. Thus, the BARREL balloon constellation constituted an evolving and slowly moving array able to study relativistic electron precipitation from the radiation belts.Later campaigns were undertaken in 2015 and 2016 from the Esrange Space Center located in Kiruna, Sweden. The 2015 and 2016 campaigns were undertaken in coordination with the Van Allen Probes mission, the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association, EISCAT, incoherent scatter radar system, and other ground and space based instruments. Seven balloon launches occurred during the August 2015 BARREL campaign. A total of eight flights occurred during August 2016.Summing over the four BARREL campaigns, over 50 small, approximately 20 kg, stratospheric balloons were successively launched.

Liquid-filled scintillating fiber development
<p>In the frame of the EU-funded project "FleX-RAY", an inherently flexible X-ray, imaging detector using single-photon avalanche photodiodes and inorganic scintillating fibres was developed. Silica-based scintillating liquid-filled fibers were developed for constructing the detector hardware.</p> <p>This archive contains the following data:</p> <p><strong>RISE_DS01</strong></p> <ul> <li>Evaluation of splice coverings to block stray light Evaluation of splice coverings to block stray light: Different types of painting methods were applied to the splice sections of the silica-scintillating components to block stray light entering the fibers. Light levels were measured and evaluated for different lightness conditions, measured by a photon counter and high-speed oscilloscope at the fiber output. The stray light was measured when the lightness condition was darkness, ambient light, and desk lamp light. The painting methods include splice without paint, black pen marker, black acrylic paint, and black spray paint.</li> </ul> <p><strong>RISE_DS02</strong></p> <ul> <li>Silica Fiber Components Scintillating Signal using UV Illumination: Capillary fiber filled with scintillating liquids (BC505 and Perovskite quantum dots) exposed to UV source (LED- emitting at 275 nm) at specific positions along the fiber length. The scintillation count was then measured by the spectrometer (Ocean Optics Spectrometer-QEB1624) at the fiber output. The data files contain light power measurements which are compressed (filename "DATA - Silica Fiber Components Scintillating Signal UV Illumination.zip") and are presented in the folders named by measurement dates.</li> <li>Silica Components_splices and setups photos: The pictures in this folder include the experimental setups for loss measurement, UV illumination tests, filling the capillary, images of splicing the liquid-filled capillary (50µm) and MMF for components, and prototypes in this work. </li> <li>Silica Fiber Components Scintillating Signal using X-ray illumination: Capillary fiber filled with scintillating liquid (BC505) exposed to the X-ray source (Liquid-metal-jet source, 70kV, 125W). The scintillation count was then measured by the spectrometer at the fiber output. For comparison with silica-based scintillating components, some tests were performed with plastic scintillating fiber (PSF).</li> </ul> <p><strong>RISE_DS03</strong> </p> <ul> <li>Scintillating Silica Fiber_Deliverable Video_and_Conferene-paper: This archive contains a publication and video presentation of the design and fabrication of flexible, liquid-filled scintillating fibers for X-ray detection made from silica fibers and silica capillaries.
