Semiconductor high-energy radiation scintillation detector
We propose a new scintillation-type detector in which high-energy radiation generates electron–hole pairs in a direct-gap semiconductor material that subsequently recombine producing infrared light to be registered by a photo-detector. The key issue is how to make the semiconductor essentially transparent to its own infrared light, so that photons generated deep inside the semiconductor could r...
متن کاملEnergy response for high-energy neutrons of multi-functional
We have developed a small, light, and multi-functional electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) using four semiconductor radiation detectors for dose monitoring of workers at nuclear power plants and high-energy accelerator facilities. This dosimeter is about 103 x 55 x 15 mm in size and approximately 110 g in weight, and capable of measuring gamma-ray and neutron doses in Hp(10), and beta-ray dose ...
متن کاملHigh-pressure Helium-3 Scintillation Position-sensitive Detector of Thermal Neutrons
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a compact neutron detector that is sensitive to thermal and epithermal neutrons and has high rejection efficiency relative to gamma-ray background. A two-channel high-pressure He scintillation detector is considered for the detection of neutrons in coincidence mode. The detector consists of two large avalanche photodi...
متن کاملWater-equivalent plastic scintillation detectors for high-energy beam dosimetry: II. Properties and measurements.
The properties of a new scintillation detector system for use in dosimetry of high-energy beams in radiotherapy have been measured. The most important properties of these detectors are their hgh spatial resolution and their nearly water-equivalence. Measurements have shown that they have excellent reproducibility and stability, and a linear response versus dose-rate. It is also shown that they ...
متن کاملWater-equivalent plastic scintillation detectors for high-energy beam dosimetry: I. Physical characteristics and theoretical consideration.
A minimally perturbing plastic scintillation detector has been developed for the dosimetry of high-energy beams in radiotherapy. The detector system consists of two identical parallel sets of radiation-resistant optical fibre bundles, each connected to independent photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). One fibre bundle is connected to a miniature water equivalent plastic scintillator and so scintillatio...
