shielding materials (Polyethylene and Kevlar) at 2 different thicknesses, the first material having
collected 54 cumulative days of data, the second 94 days. For data acquisition, a different
configuration of the silicon detectors were covered with the tile samples (and one with no
shielding for comparative purposes). Polyethylene is a well-known shielding material as it is
extremely lightweight and contains a lot of hydrogen (hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing
and dispersing radiation).
