Reaching time resolution of less than 10 ps with plastic scintillation detectors

High resolution neutron spectrometry with liquid scintillation detectors

Investigating the capability of plastic scintillation detectors in design of a muon radiography system by Geant4 code

Imaging and identifying materials with high atomic numbers and densities, especially radioactive materials, is one of the issues that have been especially considered in recent years. Due to some limitations in conventional and old imaging techniques, finding an alternative method is very important. The cosmic muons with an infinite source are one of the sources that have been recently studied f...

Determination of Optimum Planar Imaging Parameters for Small Structures with Diameters Less Than the Resolution of the Gamma Camera

Introduction: The limited spatial resolution of the gamma camera hinders the absolute quantification of planar images of small structures. The imaged structures are affected by partial volume effects (PVEs), which can spread activity and lead to underestimation of the regional distribution.  The use of optimum planar parameters reduces the impact of the limited spatial resolution of the gamma c...

The lower bound on the timing resolution of scintillation detectors.

The timing performance of scintillation detectors is ultimately limited by photon counting statistics. In fact, photon counting statistics form a dominant contribution to the overall timing resolution of many state-of-the-art detectors. A common approach to investigate this contribution is to calculate the variance in the registration times of individual scintillation photons within the photose...
