Feasibility Study of Single-Photon Counting Using a Fine-mesh Phototube for an Aerogel Readout
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fine-mesh phototube is one type of photodetector which can be used under a strong magnetic field. For an aerogel readout, the single-photon detection efficiency should be close to 100% in order to identify particle species. We carried out a feasibility study of single-photon counting using fine-mesh phototubes, and obtained a possible solution.

Monte-Carlo Simulation for an Aerogel Čerenkov Counter
We have developed a Monte-Carlo simulation code for an aerogel Čerenkov Counter which is operated under a strong magnetic field such as 1.5T. This code consists of two parts: photon transportation inside aerogel tiles, and one-dimensional amplification in a fine-mesh photomultiplier tube. It simulates the output photoelectron yields as accurately as 5% with only a single free parameter. This co...
متن کاملBeam Hole Photon Veto For J-PARC KOTO experiment
The Beam Hole Photon Veto counter (BHPV) for the J-PARC KOTO experiment was designed by MC simulation. This detector is required to operate under extremely large flux of neutrons and low energy γs, as placed in the beamline and directly exposed with such particles in the neutral beam. To realize this detector, we proposed an array of Cerenkov counter modules, each of which has a lead sheet as γ...
متن کاملPhoton dosimetry based on selective data sampling for the NaI(TL) detector
Radiation detection is essential for determining of radiation dose. Depend on the detector and dosimetry method, detection process is performed in different levels. Pulse counting is the first level of detection. Typically, the output of a radiation detector for determining value of the radiation dose cannot be used directly. Through changing the response function or the readout detector, is tr...
متن کاملNeural Imaging Using Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes
Introduction: This paper analyses the ability of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for neural imaging. The current trend in the production of SPADs moves toward the minimumdark count rate (DCR) and maximum photon detection probability (PDP). Moreover, the jitter response which is the main measurement characteristic for the timing uncertainty is progressing. Methods: The neural imaging pro...
متن کاملTime-over-threshold readout to enhance the high flux capabilities of single-photon-counting detectors
The MYTHEN single-photon-counting (SPC) detector has been characterized using the time-over-threshold (ToT) readout method, i.e. measuring the time that the signal produced by the detected X-rays remains above the comparator threshold. In the following it is shown that the ToT readout preserves the sensitivity, dynamic range and capability of background suppression of the SPC mode, while enhanc...
