Abstract

Alpha particle detection performances of a Hamamatsu R1828-01 model and a RCA 6342A model photomultiplier tubes (PMT) were tested. For the sensitivity of the PMTs to alpha particles, an Eljen AJ-440 model ZnS(Ag) scintillator material in sheet form was used in front of their windows. To test their performances, the alpha peaks of an ²⁴¹Am source and the energy resolution values of the detectors that composed of these PMTs were compared. It has been showed that R1828-01 model PMT utilized for fast timing measurements in radiation detection could be used in alpha particle detection efficiently. This work revealed its another advantageous feature in addition to existing specifications.

两种不同类型光电倍增管的α检测性能研究

对 Hamamatsu R1828-01 型和 RCA 6342A 型光电倍增管（PMT）的α粒子探测性能进行了测试。为了测试光电倍增管对α粒子的灵敏度，在其窗口前使用了片状的 Eljen AJ-440 型 ZnS（Ag）闪烁体材料。为了测试它们的性能，比较了 241Am 源的α 峰值和由这些 PMT 组成的探测器的能量分辨率值。结果表明，在辐射检测中用于快速定时测量的 R1828-01 型 PMT 可以有效地用于α粒子检测。这项工作揭示了它在现有规格之外的另一个优势特点。
