Testing and Development of the P10 Scintillator for the Focal Plane Detector: Delving into the Depths of Plastic
نویسنده
چکیده
The P10 scintillator is a component of the Focal Plane Detector being developed at Michigan State University. The scintillator will stop and determine the energy of incoming isotopes. The project focused on testing and calibration of the thick scintillator. Photomultiplier tubes were tested then coupled to the scintillator. The PMTs were then gain matched. Tests were run to determine the position sensitivity of the scintillator and test the response of the PMTs. The scintillator was found to be position sensitive.

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...
متن کاملOptical simulation and experimental measurement of gamma ray energy spectrum of plastic scintillators with different sizes
The application of large plastic scintillators is widely increasing in the different areas of industry, medicine and security due to technical and economic advantages. One of the main disadvantages of these detectors is the unknown position of Compton edge at gamma ray spectrum. In this research, GEANT4/GATE code has been used to simulate the gamma ray spectrum for different volumes of large pl...

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...
