While generally a precise and accurate knowledge of the energy of the charged particle beams is of interest for all applications, the measurement of charged particle nuclear reactions of astrophysical energies is particularly demanding because of the strong energy dependence of the cross section below the Coulomb barrier and the very long duration of the measurements.

Since the detector edge regions are a significant fraction of the detector active area, they must be removed from the experimental data set, requiring extra beam time to collect enough analysis data. A spherical detector with a continuous surface would effectively address this issue while eliminating most boundary ‘dead’ areas.

The heart of the detector is a specially developed curved neutron scintillator coupled to high resolution silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) Anger cameras via custom made fiber optic tapers (FOTs).

The system was tested with known radiation sources, demonstrating over 96 % classification accuracy for alpha and beta particles.

However, most operationally used RIDs do not provide directional information on gamma-rays and lack the capability of detecting alpha and beta radiation thereby requiring the user to carry multiple devices. Here, we introduce and demonstrate a multipurpose RID that enables rapid interactive directional sensing of a gamma-ray source, can directly and indirectly detect neutrons, and measure alpha and beta radiation from contaminated surfaces. The developed multipurpose detector enables establishing initial situational awareness with a single instrument. This facilitates the work of frontline officers significantly. The sensor fusion required for instrument compactness and multipurposity was achieved by employing phoswich technology and integrated digital electronics. The performance of the prototype device developed is demonstrated in practice using well-known radioactive reference sources. The device has a higher energy range for gamma-rays (from ∼50 keV to above 4.4 MeV) than typical RIDs, enabling indirect detection and characterization of neutron sources. Despite the high level of integration, determined gamma-ray energy resolution and detection sensitivity for gamma-rays, alpha and beta radiation, are comparable to commercially available RIDs and surface contamination monitors.
