The inception of photoelectric scintillation detection commemorated after three decades.

چکیده
The modern photoelectric scintillation detector emerged just 30 years ago out of the rubble of World War II. Kallmann in Germany had the original idea of combining an organic fluor (naphthalene), which is transparent to its fluorescent light, with an electronmultiplier phototube for the detection of single scintillation evants. Hofstadter at Princeton discovered that the inorganic thallium-activated sodium iodide scintillator has superior gamma detection efficiency and a high photoelectric yield for gamma spectrometry.

Investigating the capability of plastic scintillation detectors in design of a muon radiography system by Geant4 code
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 کاملPreparation of nanocomposite scintillator of ZnS doped with Ag, Cu and AgCu for alpha particle detection
ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) doped with Ag, Cu, and AgCu were synthesized using hydrothermal method in water solution. The NPS are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy scanning (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The produced NPs have approximately hexagonal structure and a cubic zinc blended struc...

Scintillation light from gamma ray irradiations in liquid xenon is detected by two Hamamatsu R9288 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) immersed in the liquid. UV light reflector material, PTFE, is used to optimize the light collection efficiency. The detector gives a high light yield of 6 photoelectron per keV (pe/keV), which allows efficient detection of the 122 keV γ-ray line from 57 Co, with a good...

متن کاملNew approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras
Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...
