Development of High Pressure Xe Scintillation Proportional Counter for Experiments in ”low-background” Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Characteristics of a scintillation proportional counter with WLS fiber optics readout is described. The possibility of detection of the proportional scintillation signal produced by the single electron of primary ionization is shown. The counter can be applied for the experiments in ”low–background” physics which require a low energy threshold. E-mail : akimov [email protected]

Low-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 کاملSCINTILLATION PROPORTIONAL Xe COUNTER WITH WLS FIBER READOUT FOR LOW-ENERGY X-RAYS
A gas Xe based scintillation proportional counter with cylindrical geometry and wavelength shifting (WLS) fiber readout for X-rays of energy 0.5 − 100 keV is proposed. With such a design large sizes and sensitive area of the counter with a fairly well uniformity is possible. The counter could be used for ”dark matter” search and neutrino magnetic moment measurement and for detection of small am...
متن کاملXenon–Neon Gas Proportional-Scintillation Counters for X-Rays Below 2 keV: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
The energy spectra of X-rays with energies below 2 keV measured at atmospheric pressure with standard Xe gas detectors, such as gas proportional-scintillation counters, exhibit distortions that are related to losses of electrons and fluorescence photons to the radiation window. In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation method that takes into account these losses investigates the use of Xe–Ne mixt...
متن کاملThe Energy Resolution of Xenon-Neon filled Gas Proportional-Scintillation Counters for X-Rays Below 2 keV
The energy spectra of x-rays with energies below 2 keV measured at atmospheric pressure with standard Xe gas detectors, such as gas proportional-scintillation counters (GPSC), exhibit distortions that are related to losses of electrons and fluorescence photons to the radiation window. In this work, a Monte Carlo simulation method that takes into account these losses investigates the use of Xe-N...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications
Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...
