Digital neutron dosimeter based on 3D NAND flash memory

A system comprising:

• a memory storage;
• and
• a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
• determine a plurality of logical addresses respectively associated with a plurality of flipped cells in a 3D NAND flash memory that have been flipped from a first charge state to a second charge state;
• convert the plurality of logical addresses to a plurality of physical addresses associated with the plurality of flipped cells;
• and
• identify radiation-induced tracks within a three-dimensional volume of flipped cells associated with the plurality of physical addresses, wherein each radiation-induced track includes two or more flipped cells associated with a three-dimensional path of radiation in the 3D NAND flash memory.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which, when executed, causes processing circuitry to perform actions comprising:

• determining a plurality of logical addresses respectively associated with a plurality of flipped cells in a 3D NAND flash memory that have been flipped from a first charge state to a second charge state;
• converting the plurality of logical addresses to a plurality of physical addresses associated with the plurality of flipped cells;
• and
• transmitting the plurality of physical address to a computing device configured to identify and count tracks of flipped cells associated with the plurality of physical addresses, each track including two or more flipped cells associated with a three-dimensional path of radiation in the 3D NAND flash memory.
