Liquid-scintillation alpha-detection techniques

, 1983
Accurate, quantitative determinations of alpha-emitting nuclides by conventional plate-counting methods are difficult because of sample self-absorption problems in counting and because of non-reproducible losses in conventional sample separation methods.

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Polyethylene naphthalate film as a wavelength shifter in liquid argon detectors

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
Liquid argon-based scintillation detectors are important for dark matter searches and neutrino physics. Argon scintillation light is in the vacuum ultraviolet region, making it hard to be detected by conventional means. Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), an

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Modifications in biphasic liquid-scintillation vial system for radiometry [PDF]

, 1980
Several modifications of the biphasic liquid-scintillation vial system for radiometry have been tried in order to improve the counting efficiency. The biphasic system consisted of an inner sterile vial containing medium and substrate, and an outer liquid-

Measurement of scintillation and ionization yield and scintillation pulse shape from nuclear recoils in liquid argon

, 2015
We have measured the scintillation and ionization yield of recoiling nuclei in liquid argon as a function of applied electric field by exposing a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC) to a low energy pulsed narrow band neutron beam ...

Scintillation efficiency of liquid argon in low energy neutron-argon scattering [PDF]

, 2015
Experiments searching for weak interacting massive particles with noble gases such as liquid argon require very low detection thresholds for nuclear recoils.
