N ov 2 00 6 A liquid xenon ionization chamber in an all - fluoropolymer vessel EXO Collaboration
A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of ultra-clean fluoropolymer. We describe the advantages in terms of low radioactivity contamination, provide some details of the construction techniques, and show the energy resolution achieved with a prototype all-fluoropolymer ionization detector.
متن کاملPerformance of a Large Area Avalanche Photodiode in a Liquid Xenon Ionization and Scintillation Chamber
Scintillation light produced in liquid xenon (LXe) by alpha particles, electrons and gamma-rays was detected with a large area avalanche photodiode (LAAPD) immersed in the liquid. The alpha scintillation yield was measured as a function of applied electric field. We estimate the quantum efficiency of the LAAPD to be 45%. The best energy resolution from the light measurement at zero electric fie...
متن کاملTesting of CsI Photocathodes Efficiencies in a Liquid Xenon Chamber
A summary of the Dark Matter problem and a more detailed overview of the WIMP/neutralino direct detection are introduced. More specifically the XENON – a next generation direct detection detector of WIMPs – is described. A detailed description is given on the techniques used in the current experiment to produce CsI photocathodes. Furthermore the tests done to check the performance of the CsI ph...
متن کاملAn ionization chamber for fission fragment analysis
Fission fragments play a pivotal role in understanding the entire nuclear fission process, and their effects are widespread to all applications involving nuclear fission: reactor design and maintenance, waste removal, active and passive integration of nuclear materials, simulations, and the fundamental theories of fission. Currently, experimental data on the characteristic properties of fission...
متن کاملEvaluation of dosimetry a performance parameter for a homemade farmer-type ionization chamber according to IEC60731
Introduction: Due to its simplicity, fast response and high reliability, ion chamber detectors are one of the most suitable dosimetry instruments for X and gamma rays. The dosimeter of photon beams, which used in radiotherapy centers, requires high accuracy and should pass requirements of IEC 60731 standards. About 80 percent of the IEC 60731 standard tests such as stabil...
