SCINTILLATION PROPORTIONAL Xe COUNTER WITH WLS FIBER READOUT FOR LOW-ENERGY X-RAYS
نویسنده
چکیده
A gas Xe based scintillation proportional counter with cylindrical geometry and wavelength shifting (WLS) fiber readout for X-rays of energy 0.5 − 100 keV is proposed. With such a design large sizes and sensitive area of the counter with a fairly well uniformity is possible. The counter could be used for ”dark matter” search and neutrino magnetic moment measurement and for detection of small amounts or traces of radioactive elements in substances or environment.

Development of High Pressure Xe Scintillation Proportional Counter for Experiments in ”low-background” Physics
Characteristics of a scintillation proportional counter with WLS fiber optics readout is described. The possibility of detection of the proportional scintillation signal produced by the single electron of primary ionization is shown. The counter can be applied for the experiments in ”low–background” physics which require a low energy threshold. E-mail : akimov [email protected]

The energy spectra of x-rays with energies below 2 keV measured at atmospheric pressure with standard Xe gas detectors, such as gas proportional-scintillation counters (GPSC), exhibit distortions that are related to losses of electrons and fluorescence photons to the radiation window. In this work, a Monte Carlo simulation method that takes into account these losses investigates the use of Xe-N...
متن کاملThe gas proportional scintillation counter / microstrip gas chamber hybrid detector
The gas proportional scintillation counter/microstrip gas chamber (GPSC/MSGC) hybrid detector for X-ray spectrometry is described. The detector uses a CsI-coated microstrip plate placed in direct contact with the gas-filling as the photosensor readout for the GPSC scintillation substituting for the photomultiplier tube (PMT). Usable photosensor maximum gain is limited by optical positive feedba...
