Abstract

The detection of scintillation light, which is generated when an ionising particle passes certain media or when radiation is absorbed, belongs to the oldest detection techniques. Scintillation detectors are read out electronically by employing the photon detectors described in a previous chapter. Scintillators are either made of organic or of inorganic materials (crystals) with essential differences of their properties and application field. For both scintillation mechanisms, the light yield and the time dependence of the signals are explained and the specific application areas pointed out. Typical assemblies of scintillation detectors are presented which include organic scintillators as trigger and timing counters, scintillating fibres for tracking and calorimetry and inorganic crystal arrangements for calorimetry.
闪烁探测器
闪烁光是电离粒子通过特定介质或辐射被吸收时产生的,它属于最古老的探测技术。闪烁探测器通过使用前一章中描述的光子探测器以电子方式读出。闪烁体有有机材料和无机材料(晶体)两种,它们的性质和应用领域有本质的区别。对于这两种闪烁机制,分别解释了光产率和信号的时间依赖性,并指出了具体的应用领域。介绍了典型的闪烁探测器组件,包括作为触发和计时计数器的有机闪烁体,用于跟踪和量热的闪烁纤维以及用于量热的无机晶体排列。
