Optimizing detector performance. To ready the scintillator (commercially known as EJ-299-50) for the market, researchers in LLNL's Rare Event Detection group conducted a series of characterization ...

A decent GdOS scintillator will give you a few thousand optical photons for an absorbed 80 keV x-ray photon (or ~50-70 photons per keV). CsI:Tl is about as good.

Next, the scintillator parameters need to be further optimized and the reflector material to optically isolate the individual modules has to be developed. 3D printed plastic scintillators are not ...

To test their inorganic scintillator detector (ISD), the researchers used it to measure the dose inside a water phantom, which they exposed to X-ray fields as small as 0.25 cm 2. They compared the ISD ...

A successful 3-D-printed plastic scintillator detector could pave the way for a broader use of this technology in detector building, which could shake up the field of high-energy physics, as well ...

Researchers from Xiangtan University and the China Institute of Atomic Energy have developed hybrid plastic scintillators with enhanced optical clarity, mechanical strength, and cost-efficiency ...

In an international collaboration, CERN has 3D-printed plastic scintillators for neutrino oscillation experiments. The technique is precise and cost-effective. Results demonstrate proof of concept.

An alternative dosimeter is an MR-compatible and time-resolved plastic scintillation dosimeter (PSD). The PSD’s scintillator emits an optical photon flux proportional to the received energy when it is ...
