DUVEX: An X-ray counting system based on YAG:Ce scintillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detector system, called DUVEX, has been developed for the soft-x-ray and extreme ultraviolet domain. It consists in a YAG :Ce scintillator coupled to a photomultiplier module working under vacuum in counting mode. The design and the performances of this detector in terms of yield, absolute efficiency, response and noise are reported. Spectra in the soft x-ray range of different elements (W, Ag Al, Mg, Cu, N, C, B) obtained in WDS mode using this detector are presented. DUVEX appears as a competitive detection tool in terms of cost and easiness of implementation. Corresponding author : Dr. J-M. André ; [email protected]

High Resolution Single Crystal Scintillator Plates Used for Light Weight Material X-Ray Radiography
Recently, very thin single crystal scintillator imaging plates became of great interest. Such thin screens are mainly used in micro-CT and nano-CT systems with either micro-focus X-ray tubes or with synchrotron sources. This work deals with a high resolution CCD camera in conjunction with a macro optical system and YAG:Ce single crystal scintillators for low energy X-ray micro-radiography appli...
متن کاملMeasurement of persistence in YAG:Ce3+ scintillator with pulsed synchrotron X-rays
The decay time of YAG:Ce(3+) phosphor was studied using a CMOS camera with a frame rate of 1302000 s(-1) and pulsed X-rays from SPring-8. A high-resolution X-ray detector with YAG:Ce(3+) was used with the camera to view the focused beam from the helical undulator. Mismatch between the ring circulation time and the frame time gave rise to a periodic variation of beam intensity in successive fram...
متن کاملX-ray Absorption Measurements of Organic Solutions of Organometallics with Scintillation Counting Methods
We report a new technique with which X-ray absorption measurements of solutions can be made by counting the X-ray induced luminescence from the sample. This technique (scintillation yield) involves the addition of a small amount of scintillator to the sample solution. Simultaneous measurements of X-ray absorption spectra of (CH ) Sn in organic scintillator solutions using photoconductivity and ...

Background: CdWO4 is a scintillator with some unique properties. For example, high density, thermal and chemical stability and so on. Different applications of this scintillator such as X-ray scintillator has been investigated thoroughly so far. However, there is limited number of studies reporting the characteristics of CdWO4 as an alpha counter. Materials and Methods: The CdWO4 powder was syn...
متن کاملAssessment of X-Ray Crosstalk in a Computed Tomography Scanner with Small Detector Elements Using Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...
