An 800 l liquid xenon scintillation γ ray detector is being developed for the MEG experiment which will search for μ → eγ decay at the Paul Scherrer Institut. Absorption of scintillation light of xenon by impurities might possibly limit the performance of such a detector. We used a 100 l prototype with an active volume of 372×372×496 mm to study the scintillation light absorption. We have devel...
متن کاملGrowth of CsI(Tl) crystals doped with Ca and Tm and investigation of its scintillation characteristics
In this work, the growth of CsI(Tl) crystals as gamma detector was performed using vertical Bridgman method with Ca and Tm co-dopants. For evaluation of the growth crystals, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence and thermoluminescence spectra as well as recorded gamma spectra were employed. In addition, the scintillation properties including energy resolution, scintillation decay time, abs...

Scintillation light from gamma ray irradiations in liquid xenon is detected by two Hamamatsu R9288 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) immersed in the liquid. UV light reflector material, PTFE, is used to optimize the light collection efficiency. The detector gives a high light yield of 6 photoelectron per keV (pe/keV), which allows efficient detection of the 122 keV γ-ray line from 57 Co, with a good...
متن کاملMeasuring Electron Response in NaI(Tl) using Compton Coincidence Technique
The scintillation efficiency of electron recoils in liquid xenon (LXe) is not well measured at low energies. The Compton coincidence technique (CCT) is set up using a NaI(Tl) detector and HPGe detector to measure the energy dependence of the light yield in the NaI(Tl) detector from which we can extract the scintillation effieciency. This technique allows for the detection of low energy electron...
