Semiconductor 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...
متن کاملScintillation of Xenon doped Liquid Argon in the BACON Detector
The BACON liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector prototype will be used to measure 1 2 intensity, promptness , and decay behavior for pure LAr and xenon (Xe) doped LAr mixtures. 3 The goal is to aid in planning, cost reduction, and improved detection for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [6]. The scintillation of LAr is in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV), requiring detectors to u...
متن کاملLower bounds on scintillation detector timing performance
Fundamental method-independent linuts on the timing performance of scintillation detectors are useful for identifying regimes in which either present timing methods are nearly optimal or where a considerable performance gain might be realized using better pulse processing techniques . Several types of lower bounds on mean-squared timing error (MSE) performance have been developed and applied to...
متن کاملRain-induced increase in background radiation detected by Radiation Portal Monitors.
A complete understanding of both the steady state and transient background measured by Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) is essential to predictable system performance, as well as maximization of detection sensitivity. To facilitate this understanding, a test bed for the study of natural background in RPMs has been established at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This work was performed in supp...

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 ...
