چکیده

We present the development of a neutron detector array module made with $\textit{para}$-terphenyl, bright, fast, n/$\gamma$ discriminating crystalline organic scintillator. The is comprised 2 cm $\times$ $\textit{p}$-terphenyl crystals that have been optically coupled together to create $\textit{pseudo-bar}$ module. While only relying on two photo detectors, capable distinguishing interactions between up eight crystals. Furthermore, retains $\textit{p}$-terphenyl's pulse shape discrimination (PSD) capability. Together this makes pseudo-bar promising position-sensitive detector. Here we characteristics - its timing resolution as well and position capabilities, briefly discuss future plans for utilizing an modules in useful system.

Position Reconstruction by Pulse Shape Analysis with the Ge-detector VEGA

An optimum algorithm to find interaction positions of a γ-ray in a Ge-detector is being investigated by analyzing pulse shapes of the Ge-detector VEGA [1, 2]. The VEGA detector consists of four Ge crystals forming like a four leaf clover. Each crystal has four electric segmentations in radial quarters. A collection time of electron and hole (eh) depends on their drift length, therefore the slop...

Conformation of p-terphenyl under hydrostatic pressure.

The conformation of p-terphenyl (C18H14) and deuterated p-terphenyl (C18D14) has been investigated, using high-pressure infrared spectroscopy at liquid-helium temperatures. First-principles calculations, together with the experimental results, were performed to determine the structure of p-terphenyl in the twisted conformation. At low temperatures and pressures, p-terphenyl belongs to the C2 po...

The ALPHA – detector: Module Production and Assembly

ALPHA is one of the experiments situated at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator (AD). A Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) is placed to surround the ALPHA atom trap. The main purpose of the SVD is to detect and locate antiproton annihilation events by means of the emitted charged pions. The SVD system is presented with special focus given to the design, fabrication and performance of the modules.
