N ov 1 99 5 Calibration of Plastic Phoswich Detectors for Charged Particle Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The response of an array of plastic phoswich detectors to ions of 1 ≤ Z ≤ 18 has been measured from E/A=12 to 72 MeV. The detector response has been parameterized by a three parameter fit which includes both quenching and high energy delta-ray effects. The fits have a mean variation of ≤ 4% with respect to the data.

Preliminary Experiments with a Triple-layer Phoswich Detector for Radioxenon Detection
The International Monitoring System (IMS) employs some special radiation detectors to monitor atmospheric or underground nuclear weapons tests around the world. These detectors should be able to detect ultra low concentrations of xenon radioisotopes in the atmosphere where the background level is relatively high. Exploiting the fact that the most interesting xenon radioisotopes (Xe, Xe, Xe, and...

The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty establishes a network of monitoring stations to detect radioactive xenon in the atmosphere from nuclear weapons testing. One such monitoring system is the Automated Radioxenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which uses a complex arrangement of separate beta and gamma detectors to detect beta-gamma coincidences...

Scintillation detectors are widely used in the experimental setup for the detection of charged particles. These detectors are able to measure the energy and time-of-flight of the charged particles. Also, they can be used to identify the detected particle. The probability of hadronic interaction between the detected particle and the nuclei of the scintillator atoms is one important issue that m...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Dual Scintillator Sheet and Phoswich Detector for Simultaneous Alpha- and Beta-rays Measurement
Thin sheet type of ZnS(Ag)/plastic dual scintillator for simultaneous counting of alphaand betaparticles using a organic and inorganic scintillator widely used in the radiation measurement was manufactured, which could be applicable in the contamination monitoring systems. Counting materials were manufactured by solidification of the scintillator solution which mixed scintillator, solvent, and ...
متن کاملDesign and Modeling of a Compton-suppressed Phoswich Detector for Radioxenon Monitoring
By measuring the concentration of four xenon radioisotopes in the atmosphere, the International Monitoring System (IMS) can verify nuclear weapons tests around the world. To measure ultra-low concentrations of radioxenons, many detection systems, such as the Automated Radioxenon Sampler and Analyzer (ARSA) and the Swedish Automatic Unit for Noble gas Acquisition (SAUNA), have been developed and...
