in this research work, alpha particle detector is made using semi-insulating gaas. a surface barrier detector with a semi-insulating gaas substrate at room temperature with pressure of 10-4 torr under -particle radiation with 5.48 mev of am241 source, have been under investigation. energy resolution of 2 and 3 mm schottky diameter have been matured and compared with the effect of voltage varia...

A wide variety of applications require a hard Xray or gamma ray detector which combine both good spatial resolution and energy resolution. Double-sided solid-state strip detectors provide this capability. We report on the development of CMOS electronics designed for photon detection with strip detectors. These electronics include a low noise preamplifier, semi-gaussian shaping amplifier, discri...

A stack of annular detectors made of high-purity germanium was developed. The detectors are position sensitive with radial structures. The first one (“Quirl”) is double-sided position sensitive defining 40 000 pixels, the following three (E1, E2 and E3) have 32 wedges each. The Quirl acts as tracker while the other three act as calorimeter. The stack was successfully operated in meson productio...

Portal monitors and mobile search systems are most effective in positive identification when constructed with high resolution detectors. To satisfy the need for this type of detector, an integrated gamma ray spectrometer, incorporating a germanium detector with integral mechanical cooling, digital signal processing electronics, MCA, and communications has been developed. This modular subsystem ...

Modern physics lays its foundations on the pillars of Quantum Mechanics (QM), which has been proven successful to describe microscopic world atoms and particles, leading construction Standard Model. Despite big success, old open questions at very heart, such as measurement problem wave function collapse, are still open. Various theories consider scenarios could encompass a departure from predic...

introduction natural and artificial radionuclides are the main sources of human radiation exposure. these radionuclides, which are present in the environment, can be dissolved into water. evidence suggests that radionuclides being entered the human body through drinking or hot spring water can be harmful for human health. materials and methods in this study,10 samples were collected from ground...

The activ ity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides Ra, Th and K, were measured by using a Broad Energy Ge (BEGe) detector for soil samples collected from the Malnichara tea garden in Sylhet district of Bangladesh. The average activity concentrations of Ra, Th and K in soil samples were found to be 55.284±4.68, 125.270±5.81 and 497.91±43.83 Bqkg, respectively. The results obtained...
