Preparation of Neutron-activated Xenon for Liquid Xenon Detector Calibration
We report the preparation of neutron-activated xenon for the calibration of liquid xenon (LXe) detectors. Gamma rays from the decay of xenon metastable states, produced by fast neutron activation, were detected and their activities measured in a LXe scintillation detector. Following a five-day activation of natural xenon gas with a Cf (4× 10 n/s) source, the activities of two gamma ray lines at...
متن کامل- iii - LIQUID XENON FILLED WIRE CHAMBERS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING
In 1968, Luis Alvarez suggested that a high-resolution multiwire particle detector could be developed using a thin layer of liquified noble gas as the detection medium. After key problems in chamber construcbon, purification, and readout had been solved, a spatial resolution of 15 fl. rms was demonstrated. Work is in progress to build high-resolubon chambers and lTIeasure their properties for p...
متن کاملA Liquid Xenon Detector for Positron Emission Tomography
Here, we report on the present state of development of a liquid xenon detector composed by multiwire ionisation chambers, which has been developed for positron emission tomography (PET). It uses the fast scintillation signal for coincidence and subsequent trigger of the event processing. The charge signals induced on the wires are used for position determination along the radial and transaxial ...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
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...
