Gamma Ray Spectroscopy with Scintillation Light in Liquid Xenon [PDF]

, 2006
Scintillation light from gamma ray irradiation 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.

Scintillator detectors of AugerPrime [PDF]

Proceedings of 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2017), 2017
As part of the upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, called AugerPrime, scintillator detectors will be mounted on top of all water-Cherenkov detectors (WCDs) of the surface array. By combining the data from WCDs with those of scintillator surface detectors (SSDs), we can derive information needed to reconstruct the energy and composition of cosmic ...

Photo-Detectors for Time of Flight Positron Emission Tomography (ToF-PET)

Sensors, 2010
We present the most recent advances in photo-detector design employed in time of flight positron emission tomography (ToF-PET). PET is a molecular imaging modality that collects pairs of coincident (temporally correlated) annihilation photons emitted ...
