We are reporting on a design, construction and performance of various solid state photon counting detector packages suitable for laser tracking of orbiting space debris. Our group has designed and constructed several solid state photon counters for application in space related projects in the last years. In all these earlier applications the timing resolution, stability and operation at 532 nm ...

Objective(s): The energy resolution of a cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) solid-state semiconductor detector is about 5%, and is superior to the resolution of the conventional Anger type detector which is 10%. Also, the window width of the high-energy part and of the low-energy part of a photo peak window can be changed separately. In this study, we used a semiconductor detector and examined the ef...

The GlueX experiment will employ a linearly polarized 9 GeV tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target to search for exotic states in the light meson spectrum. Optimized for this purpose, the detector has a highly uniform acceptance over nearly 4π solid angle, with high efficiency for both neutral and charged final state particles. An overview of the physics motivation and detector...

In this work, the dependence of bulk etches rate VB for CR-39detector on thetemperature T, etching time t and concentration N NaOH etchant solution has been studied fordetectors material types PADC. The concentration, time, temperatureand other conditions havebeen varied in ranges (5.25-8.25) N, (1-5) hand (60-80) °C PADC respectively. case, thickness removed by from 0.20 to 6.10

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) possesses extraordinary potential for solid-state neutron detector applications. This stems from the fact that the boron-10 (B) isotope has a capture cross-section of 3840 barns for thermal neutrons that is orders of magnitude larger than other isotopes. Epitaxial layers of hBN have been synthesized by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Experimental m...

Indoor radon and thoron have been measured in the houses ofMoradabad District, Uttar Pradesh India, by means of solid state nuclear trackdetectors. Radon, an invisible radioactive gas, occurs naturally in indooratmospheres and along with thoron is the most important contribution of humanexposure to natural sources. Radon exists in soil gas building materials and indooratmosphere to name but a f...

Spectrally resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (λFLIM) has powerful potential for biochemical and medical imaging applications. However, long acquisition times, low spectral resolution and complexity of λFLIM often narrow its use to specialized laboratories. Therefore, we demonstrate here a simple spectral FLIM based on a solid-state detector array providing in-pixel histrogrammin...
