The Clinic team is challenged with designing, building and testing a measurement campaign procedure to create data sets for ubiquitous nuclear detection performance analysis. The team has completed this goal by implementing a scavenger/puzzle hunt event run using an Android app that was developed to support deployments. The team has run several deployments in the local area that have generated data sets that contain precise location data, simulated unknown radioactive sources, and large area coverage.
