Abstract

The RADAI project goal is to create a large dataset of synthetic detector events for mobile urban search that contains realistic features of real searches: varying background components, different blocks, clutter, rain, and a variety of possible threat and nuisance sources. The scheme devised here of reusing a series of three-block combinations allows for making an infinitely long synthetic measurement with a finite amount of computing time. But the MC calculations are just the first step; creating the list-mode detector data is still ongoing. When completed, the dataset will be posted on a publicly available web server for other researchers to use in the development of detection algorithms.
