Abstract
A Hamamatsu R1828-01 model fast photomultiplier tube, i.e. having fast time response, was tested whether it can be utilized for the detection of alpha particles. An Eljen AJ-440 model ZnS(Ag) scintillator sheet was mounted on the front window of the PMT. In order to obtain best alpha detection performance, three different main amplifier models that are in our laboratory were used. The alpha energy resolution values were calculated through the amplifiers. Thus, the most appropriate amplifier model in the used ones was determined. It was shown that a fast PMT could be used in alpha particle detection in addition to the timing measurement. With this study, a Hamamatsu R18128-01 type PMT was first tested for the alpha detection and the detection performances through the main amplifiers were compared.
期刊介绍：
Instruments and Experimental Techniques is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes reviews describing advanced methods for physical measurements and techniques and original articles that present techniques for physical measurements, principles of operation, design, methods of application, and analysis of the operation of physical instruments used in all fields of experimental physics and when conducting measurements using physical methods and instruments in astronomy, natural sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.
