A coincidence scintillation spectrometer
The coincidence spectrometer consists of two scintillation spectrometers, each of which can be used as either a beta-ray or a gamma-ray spectrometer, depending on what crystals are used. The pulses from the first spectrometer are analyzed with a single channel analyzer. The pulses corresponding to a certain energy are picked out with the analyzer and are fed into one channel of a coincidence ci...
متن کاملWater-equivalent plastic scintillation detectors for high-energy beam dosimetry: II. Properties and measurements.
The properties of a new scintillation detector system for use in dosimetry of high-energy beams in radiotherapy have been measured. The most important properties of these detectors are their hgh spatial resolution and their nearly water-equivalence. Measurements have shown that they have excellent reproducibility and stability, and a linear response versus dose-rate. It is also shown that they ...
متن کاملWater-equivalent plastic scintillation detectors for high-energy beam dosimetry: I. Physical characteristics and theoretical consideration.
A minimally perturbing plastic scintillation detector has been developed for the dosimetry of high-energy beams in radiotherapy. The detector system consists of two identical parallel sets of radiation-resistant optical fibre bundles, each connected to independent photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). One fibre bundle is connected to a miniature water equivalent plastic scintillator and so scintillatio...
متن کاملThe Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment Instrument Description the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment Instrument Description
The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Arthur Holly Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite uses four actively-shielded NaI(Tl)-CsI(Na) phoswich detectors to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection capability in the 0:05 ? 10 MeV energy range. The instrument includes secondary capabilities for gamma-ray and neutron detection between 10 and 250 MeV. The detectors...
متن کاملSemiconductor high-energy radiation scintillation detector
We propose a new scintillation-type detector in which high-energy radiation generates electron–hole pairs in a direct-gap semiconductor material that subsequently recombine producing infrared light to be registered by a photo-detector. The key issue is how to make the semiconductor essentially transparent to its own infrared light, so that photons generated deep inside the semiconductor could r...
