ANTARCTIC DOSIMETRY A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF BACKGROUND RADIATION LEVELS AT HIGH LATITUDES
A significant proportion (13%) of the natural background radiation is of cosmic origin. Charged particles (e.g. from the Sun), such as protons, interact with the magnetic field of the Earth and can be deflected by it. This effect is reduced at the magnetic poles. Still, particles that enter the Eart...
