چکیده
In this paper the growth of a 16mm diameter Ce-doped Tl$_2$NaYCl$_6$ and its characterization as gamma-ray detector are reported. With 16 mm dia. x 8 cylindrical sample, energy resolution 4.1% (FWHM) at 662 keV light yield 27,800ph/MeV measured. Decay times 91 ns (34%), 462 (52%), 2.1 microseconds (15%) calculated. The x-ray excited emission spectrum exhibits bands that similar to other Tl-based elpasolite scintillators like Tl$_2$NaYCl$_6$:Ce.

New approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras
Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...
متن کاملRadio scintillation of gamma-ray-burst afterglows ?
Stars twinkle to the eye through atmospheric turbulence, but planets, because of their larger angular size, do not. Similarly, scintillation due to the local interstellar medium will modulate the radio flux of gamma-ray-burst afterglows and may permit indirect measurements of their angular sizes. The amplitude of refractive scintillation is of order ten percent at ten gigahertz unless the sourc...
متن کاملSimulation studies of CZT Detectors as Gamma-Ray Calorimeter
Several astrophysics and nuclear physics applications require the detection of photons in the energy range of keV up to several MeV with good position and energy resolution. For certain applications Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors might be the detector option of choice. Up to now, CZT detectors have mainly been used in the energy range between a few keV and ∼1 MeV. They operate at room t...
متن کاملScanner for gamma-ray detectors
The core principle of segmented detectors like AGATA [1], GRETA [2], that will be used in future for 4π gamma detection arrays, is the application of the concept of pulse shape analysis (PSA). The key ingredient for this analysis is a data base containing pulses for all the interaction points inside the segmented detector. A full 3D scanning of the detectors, which experimentally determines pul...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy with Underground Detectors
Underground detectors measure the directions of up-coming muons of neutrino origin. They can also observe down-going muons made by gamma rays in the Earth’s atmosphere. Although gamma ray showers are muon-poor, they produce a sufficient number of muons to detect the sources observed by GeV and TeV telescopes. With a threshold higher by one hundred and a probability of muon production of about 1...
