An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for ...

The scintillator containment vessel is suspended within 1000 tons of ultrapure water shielding. Scintillation light is detected with 100 phototubes with light collectors mounted in the water viewing ...

Each PS cube is traversed by three orthogonal optical fibers that collect the scintillation light and guide it to 56'000 photodetectors. The data reveal three-dimensional (3D) particle tracks ...

Due to the inherent low atomic number of organic materials, their ability to absorb high-energy rays is relatively weak.

Broser and Kallmann 1 have shown that mono-energetic alpha-particles give pulses of the same height in a scintillation counter, and that the pulse-height is proportional to the energy of the alpha ...
