About the work
This preprint presents the design, construction, and preliminary evaluation of a novel, passive cylindrical concrete sensor incorporating two metallic mesh electrodes separated by 8 cm. Acting as a distributed capacitive system, the sensor detects ultra-low-level variations in electric fields, dielectric permittivity, and transient charge effects. While not a conventional particle detector, it demonstrates sensitivity to electrical anomalies potentially correlated with ionizing events, cosmic muon flux, and environmental electromagnetic fluctuations.
The proposed architecture emphasizes low cost, robustness, and long-term outdoor deployment, suggesting applications in environmental radiation monitoring, geophysical precursor studies, and unconventional sensing approaches. The study includes preliminary observations of transient anomalies, a simplified electrical model, and a high-impedance data acquisition system using Arduino-based logging. Data supporting these findings are available upon request.
