In this detector, BF3 gas acts as both a proportional gas and a neutron detection material. The standard uncertainty of type A is obtained by a statistical analysis of repeated measurements and, in principle, can be reduced by increasing the number of measurements. The detection of elementary particles, nuclei and high-energetic electromagnetic radiation, in this book commonly designated as particles, proceeds through interactions of the particles with matter. :H*1iDZC>lSBZM&%Zu'v jb_5(Ov]M5]0\iX{J|ChZ]p}qNF3c Q$jGS"EB&=?9>":QT@lJRDB$iuGR\,"qK: c5ZI:.j:. 7B{5YNcJU!F)F1 ud44oGFBd dO|toOFY_)6 Neutron detectors: Neutrons are much harder to detect because they are not charged. A large dynamic range is needed in order to measure large signals (up to 400 Mips) and also single Mips which will be used for calibration. 0000009780 00000 n The following list presents some types of commonly used detectors and includes comments on each of them: Geiger Counter: The detector most common to the public is the Geiger-Mueller counter, commonly called the Geiger counter. endstream endobj startxref Among . These results lead to good performance for the difficultH search. This section summarizes the most common detector types used for the detection of ionizing radiation in the field. Besides the introductory and overview chapters (chapters 1 and 2), the book is divided into five subject areas: fundamentals (chapters 3 to 5), detection of tracks of charged particles (chapters 6 to 9), phenomena and methods mainly applied for particle identification (chapters 10 to 14), energy measurement (accelerator and non-accelerator experiments) (chapters 15, 16), electronics and data acquisition (chapters 17 and 18). %PDF-1.5 % Scintillator-type detectors use vacuum tubes to perform the initial conversion of light to electrical pulses. 0000010386 00000 n They are detected by nuclear interactions that produce secondary charged particles.

Chapter 2 General Properties of Radiation Detectors Ionizing radiation is most commonly detected by the charge created when radiation interacts with the detector. Some of the more recent calorimeter implementations do in fact partially use higher granularity layers (strip detectors) to exploit these possibilities, as in the CMS pre-shower detector [3], and full three-dimensional shower reconstruction was used in the PAMELA space mission [4]. Then the shower shape is analysed with a neural net using 11 strips centered on these positions [5]. For a Higgs mass of 120 GeV, the 0s have a transverse energy of the order of 60 GeV leading to a separation between the 2 photons arising from the 0 decay of about 0.8 cm in the barrel region while it is only few milimeters in the endcaps. Radiation detectors are devices that measure this ionization and produce an observable output. Large magnets are required to bend the paths of the charged particles. to the needs of a particular measurement problem. >> 6!D_fL`l( $Omb`=X& !T x}IwcGm|GcSU:+^Hd&Z$@~#nw7zR/f==[R_gy~&\ h-vM1Vzz+4}=mt?O?m?~qe:>;NhX2_xJ{}a1~:lo>f]]X1|/3t/Vky/6"lY,V|vz}(wL!g|Ac9&_~o[PX]n0iU8_^5T6qnN-j{\i\hh[F_4dQx:lNoTRXs_}O3JE~;qnY5e-{QAG>J_ep9 ZTN}vp emfzHz 6+zO 5N)H'VN8!pA:Q7@:typY~bKI!T{T~P5}p^,}3]$(4U}pL,gK{=Yup e,@yDPr&sW&2g,Ffy,%>p;j~K|,cQz2Ey q)8Dx>vqINK}u 2%ob-QvS|Nnp?4mqi;=?~~MO7Cu]u>Nv4?oJjw7Ws;$77tag]dj|?nNH4iy=~ %t]VaPwq{?oO2gn|E'=gtzzqwO%>nJr[u Radiation detection is key to experimental nuclear physics as well as underpinning a wide Charge Sensitive Preamp A Vo Vi R1 R2 Radiation detector Ci Radiation detector Vo Vi Ci Cf A V Q i C i = VV oi R R 2 1 Preamplifier 63% Input Output V Q o C f VVe= t o /RCff Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool for scientific literature, based at the Allen Institute for AI. dP%AD D^*e ?IS6m]Da96[,$C!r fid[W*}C)LZahiFh&f-/;0Kr}4nkPI9gSL)"6+mAhys.
