The gas proportional scintillation counter / microstrip gas chamber hybrid detector
The gas proportional scintillation counter/microstrip gas chamber (GPSC/MSGC) hybrid detector for X-ray spectrometry is described. The detector uses a CsI-coated microstrip plate placed in direct contact with the gas-filling as the photosensor readout for the GPSC scintillation substituting for the photomultiplier tube (PMT). Usable photosensor maximum gain is limited by optical positive feedba...
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 کاملThe calibration of the 'Fingerhut' ionization chamber
The use of the "thimble" ionization chamber (Fingerhutkammer) has in the past been the only method for comparing the primary X-ray standards of different laboratories, hence the precise calibration of two thimble chambers is discussed in this paper. Five principal factors determine the accuracy of such a calibration, and it is shown that the errors are all, in general, in the same direction. It...
متن کاملLow-background Experiments with High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Detector
A scintillation proportional counter with wavelength shifting fiber readout filled with Xe or Kr under a pressure of up to 20 atm is proposed for the low–background experiments on search for dark matter of the Universe and 2K–decay of Kr.
متن کاملGas Scintillation Proportional Counters for High-Energy X-ray Astronomy
A focal plane array of high-pressure gas scintillation proportional counters (GSPC) for a balloon-borne hard-x-ray telescope is under development at the Marshall Space Flight Center. These detectors each have an active area of ~ 20 cm, and are filled with a high pressure (10 Pa) xenon-helium mixture. Imaging is via crossed-grid position-sensitive phototubes sensitive in the UV region. The perfo...
