Liquid Helium and Liquid Neon - Sensitive, Low Background Scintillation Media For The Detection Of Low Energy Neutrinos
The use of liquid helium and neon as scintillators for neutrino detection is investigated. Several unique properties of these cryogens make them promising candidates for real-time solar neutrino spectroscopy: large ultraviolet scintillation yields from ionizing radiation, transparency to their own scintillation light, and low levels of radioactive impurities. When neutrinos scatter from electro...
متن کاملDetection of Liquid Xenon Scintillation Light with a Silicon Photomultiplier
We have studied the feasibility of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) to detect liquid xenon (LXe) scintillation light. The SiPM was operated inside a small volume of pure LXe, at -95C, irradiated with an internal Am α source. The gain of the SiPM at this temperature was estimated to be 1.8 × 10 with bias voltage at 52 V. Based on the geometry of the setup, the quantum efficiency of the SiPM was ...
متن کاملDetection of Noble Gas Scintillation Light with Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs)
Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs) were used for a series of systematic measurements of the scintillation light in Ar, Kr, and Xe gas. Absolute quantum efficiencies are derived. Values for Xe and Kr are consistent with those given by the manufacturer. For the first time we show that argon scintillation (128 nm) can be detected at a quantum efficiency above 40%. Low-pressure argon gas is ...

discussed, and he points out that merely because a disease is found to be familial in incidence does not mean it is hereditarily transmitted; leprosy, for instance, was long held to be a hereditary disease, and a law was actually proposed in the Norwegian Parliament forbidding the marriage of lepers for that reason. It was only with the discovery of the leprosy bacillus by Hansen that the true ...
متن کاملSome Factors Affecting Alpha Particle Detection In Liquid Scintillation Spectrometry
Pulse shape analyzers have been introduced in commercial liquid scintillation counters, such as the WaIlac 1220 QuantulusTM and 1219 SM, enabling separation of alpha particle spectra from other types of radiation in a single measurement and making ultra sensitive alpha counting possible. Background count rates as low as one count per day for 214Po in a teflon vial are achievable while still ret...
