In this paper, we present the characterization of a novel 4~\mm \times 4~\mm position-sensitive silicon photomultiplier, called linearly-graded SiPM (LG-SiPM). The 2D position encoding is obtained through a charge sharing approach, implemented by means of a current divider directly integrated on die. The microcells of the detectors have a size of 45~\mu\m \times 45~\mu \m and are fabricated with the FBK RGB (Red Green Blue) technology, modified with the addition of a second metal interconnection layer and a second quenching resistor in every cell, required by the encoding architecture. We verified that the LG-SiPM scheme does not alter the signal temporal shape, when illuminating the detector in different positions. We performed a XY scan with light spots of 1 mm diameter and spaced by 0.25 mm, showing that the reconstructed positions are easily separated. No visible pincushion distortion was present. We measured the energy resolution and the encoding capability in PET-like and in SPECT-like conditions using pixelated LYSO and CsI(Tl) crystal arrays (with 0.8 and 1 mm pitch, respectively), irradiating them with 511 keV and 122 keV photons, respectively. In both cases, we were able to clearly distinguish the scintillator pixels. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Two 20 mm\,\times\,20 mm\,\times\,15 mm pixelated CZT detectors made by eV-Products were characterized using the new H3D Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) readout system developed by the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The ASIC is capable of reading out energy and timing signals from 121 anode pixels and the planar cathode electrode of one CZT detector simultaneously. The system has a measured electronic noise of \sim \ 2.2 keV FWHM with a dynamic range from 20 keV to 3.0 MeV. The two detectors achieved energy resolution of 0.48% FWHM and 0.60% FWHM, respectively, at 662 keV for single-pixel events from the entire 6.0 cm^3 detection volume at room temperature with an un-collimated ^137Cs source. The average (\mu \tau)e of both detectors were measured to be >10^-2 cm^2/V. The detection efficiency of the two detectors was evaluated at several different energies up to 1.3 MeV by comparing with simulated data. It was found that the total counts agree well between the measured data and the simulated data over the studied energy range. However, the measured photopeak counts were 10–15% lower than simulated photopeak counts at high gamma-ray energies. The analysis shows that the loss of photopeak efficiency is likely due to the charge loss from peripheral pixels to the boundary of detectors. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Over the past 10 years combined techniques such as small angle and wide angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with X-ray diffraction (XRD), have become the mainstay of time resolved experimental studies carried out at synchrotron radiation sources (SRS). However, these techniques have been limited by the detectors used to measure the wide angle scattering/diffraction pattern, and therefore restrict the dynamic experiments that can be studied. The HOTWAXS (High Overall Throughput Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering) detector project was designed to address this issue by producing a position sensitive, parallax free, high count rate, photon counting detector based on microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) technology. The initial experiments, performed on station 16.1 of the Daresbury SRS, with a high density polyethylene sample, confirmed the local count rate per channel to be 1 × 106 counts per second. A global count rate over the 512 channel detector of 27 × 106 counts per second was also measured for this sample. Time resolved experiments on stations 2.1 and 9.3 with real 'user' samples have also been performed, the results of which are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The first implementation of a position sensitive readout for a Micro Hole and Strip Plate (MHSP) is described and tested. The readout consists on a resistive layer crossing the anodes and connected to a preamplifier on each side. By weighing the charge pulses on both preamplifiers it is possible to determine the interaction point. A 100–200Ω resistance layer between consecutive strips was found to be the best compromise between position linearity and energy resolution. Preliminary results using 22.1keV X-rays present a good linearity between the measured and the actual position with a mean deviation of about 0.15mm and a position resolution of 1.6mm full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), being limited by the analogue division electronic circuit. The performance of the MHSP position detector will be presented and discussed for 1D readout. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Two 2.25 -cm³ CdZnTe gamma-ray spectrometers with three-dimensional (3-D) position sensitivity were constructed and tested. By using 11 × 11 pixellated anodes and depth-sensing techniques, individual spectral data for each of rs 4800 voxels were collected throughout the detector volume. Energy resolution of 1.11% and 1.14% FWHM at 662 keV were obtained for single-pixel events from these two detectors, respectively. Spatial variations of electron mobility-lifetime product, energy resolution, photopeak efficiency, and total efficiency have been observed and analyzed. This analysis provides a direct observation on the uniformity of detector response (due to material, weighting potential, and electric field distribution) in 3-D. Possible defects in the detector are identified. The impact of the spatial variation of detector response on a CZT gamma-ray spectrometer is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We have developed various kinds of position-sensitive neutron detectors in JAERI for the J-PARC project. The neutron imaging detectors using scintillators have been developed aiming for high counting rate, high spatial resolution, high neutron gamma-rays discrimination, and high detection efficiency. The development included various kinds of phosphors, scintillators, and read-out methods. Another is a two-dimensional gaseous neutron detector, which is based on a microstrip technology. The development of the microstrip gas chamber that has individual strip read-out and of the instrument system with a capability of secondary-particle discrimination is underway for a high spatial resolution and high detection efficiency with moderate area coverage.

Tese de doutoramento em Engenharia Física, apresentada ao Departamento de Física da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra Detectores gasosos de cintilação sensíveis à posição (PSGSD) com leitura por câmara Anger estão a ser desenvolvidos para serem usados em diversas áreas de investigação tais como detecção de neutrões [1], procura de matéria escura [2] e duplo decaimento beta sem neutrinos [3]. Usando misturas gasosas adequadas, as avalanches produzidas nestes detectores podem emitir até 10^6 fotões/MeV em dezenas de nano-segundos, permitindo alcançar elevada resolução espacial (1mm) e altas taxas de contagem (>1MHz) ao longo de extensas áreas de detecção (até milhares de cm^2). O desenho e optimização de PSGSDs requerem frequentemente a consideração de um elevado número de factores interligados, sendo por essa razão tipicamente efectuados de forma iterativa ou com recurso a simulações numéricas. A primeira abordagem pode ser bastante exigente em termos de tempo e recursos enquanto as simulações numéricas muitas vezes não fornecem resultados adequados devido a limitações do modelo ou à falta de informação sobre propriedades relevantes de elementos do detector. O trabalho apresentado nesta tese compreende o desenho, construção, calibração e testes de validação de uma bancada de emulação para o desenho e optimização de PSGSDs a qual permite evitar constrangimentos das duas abordagens. A bancada de emulação tem uma estrutura modular e tanto as propriedades da emissão de luz como a geometria do detector podem ser configuradas de forma independente permitindo processos iterativos de optimização rápidos. Adicionalmente, contrariamente às simulações numéricas, esta abordagem não depende de um modelo ou do conhecimento detalhado das propriedades dos componentes do detector. Com esta ferramenta, cintilação quase-pontual primária e secundária podem ser emuladas com controlo preciso da posição, intensidade e características temporais numa vasta gama de intensidades de luz. O sistema é facilmente configurável, permitindo modificações rápidas da geometria e mudanças dos materiais de elementos do detector emulado, bem como o tipo, número e arranjo dos fotodetectores. Os dois componentes fundamentais da bancada apresentada são uma fonte de luz quase-pontual e uma câmara Anger. A fonte de luz está instalada num sistema de posicionamento 3D de alta resolução, tem aproximadamente 1mm de diâmetro, isotropia melhor que 10% em > 3 e pode ser configurada para emitir entre 10^3 e 10^6 fotões por pulso, com duração variável entre 1 ns e 1 s. A câmara Anger usada neste estudo consiste num arranjo de sete fotomultiplicadores numa configuração hexagonal. O sistema está instalado dentro de uma caixa hermética à luz com paredes interiores pretas, para suprimir a luz reflectida, e permite a montagem de diferentes elementos do detector emulado no seu interior. A operação da bancada de emulação foi validada com sucesso. Para isso usou-se uma configuração minimalista da bancada consistindo apenas na fonte de luz, no sistema de posicionamento e na câmara. As reflexões a partir dos elementos da bancada foram suprimidas e os sinais dos fotomultiplicadores (PMTs) dependiam, numa boa aproximação, apenas da posição da fonte, da quantidade de fotões emitidos, da geometria da câmara Anger e dos ganhos relativos dos PMTs. Nestas condições, as simulações numéricas são capazes de fornecer previsões fidedignas dos sinais dos PMTs, se os PMTs e a fonte de luz estiverem calibrados. Estas calibrações foram efectuadas e tanto as medidas como as simulações, foram posteriormente conduzidas para as mesmas condições, fornecendo informação sobre a resolução e distorção espacial das reconstruções em função da posição da fonte e do número de fotões emitidos. Os resultados obtidos mostraram estar em muito bom acordo. O sistema foi usado para investigar diversas configurações relevantes para o projecto dedicado ao desenvolvimento de um detector de neutrões térmicos sensível à posição baseado num contador proporcional de cintilação com leitura por câmara Anger [1] no qual o nosso grupo participou. Em particular, o algoritmo da máxima verosimilhança foi usado para reconstruir eventos em casos de estudo que cobriam geometrias de detectores com reflexão de luz suprimida, com paredes cilíndricas feitas de materiais com diferentes propriedades de reflexão e com uma janela de vidro como interface entre a fonte de luz e os PMTs. Métodos para processamento de dados foram desenvolvidos para parametrizar as funções resposta dos PMTs a partir dos dados emulados. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a bancada de emulação pode ser usada de forma efectiva para desenhar e optimizar PSGSDs visando a melhor resolução possível em posição (e energia) e a mínima distorção espacial. A bancada de emulação pode também ser usada para emular dados experimentais realistas para testar a electrónica de leitura de PSGSDs, estudar o desempenho de algoritmos de reconstrução de eventos ou para desenvolver técnicas adaptativas da resposta do detector como as apresentadas na referência [4]. O mesmo conceito pode ainda ser desenvolvido, com vista em aplicações que necessitam de comprimento de onda ajustável e controlo preciso das propriedades de emissão da fonte de luz. Esta abordagem poderá possivelmente ser estendida à emular a emissão de luz em líquidos e sólidos operando a fonte de luz num volume preenchido com um líquido com propriedades ópticas (e.g. índice de refracção) que corresponda ao do cintilador em estudo.

Chepel. “Iterative reconstruction of SiPM light response functions in a square-shaped compact gamma camera”. In: Physics in Medicine and Biology 62.9 (2012), p. 3619. Position-sensitive gaseous scintillation detectors (PSGSD) with Angertype readout are being developed for use in various research areas such as neutron detection [1], search for dark matter [2] and neutrinoless double beta decay [3]. Using suitable gas mixtures, the avalanches produced in these detectors can emit up to 10^6 photons/MeV in tens of nanoseconds, allowing to achieve high spatial resolution (1mm) and high count rate (>1MHz) over large detection areas (up to thousands of cm^2). Design and optimization of PSGSDs frequently requires taking into consideration a large number of interconnected factors being, for that reason, typically performed either iteratively or by means of numerical simulations. The first approach can be very demanding in terms of time and resources while numerical simulations often do not provide adequate results due to limitations of the model or lack of information on relevant properties of the elements of the detector. The work presented in this thesis comprises the design, construction, calibration and validation tests of an emulation workbench for design and optimization of PSGSDs which allow to avoid constraints of both approaches. The emulation workbench has modular structure and both light emission properties and geometry of the detector can be independently configured allowing fast iterative optimization processes. Moreover, unlike numerical simulations, this approach does not depend on a model or on the detailed knowledge of the properties of the detector components. With this tool, point-like primary and secondary scintillation can be emulated with precise control of position, intensity and timing characteristics over a wide range of light intensities. The system is easily configurable, allowing quick modifications of the geometry and changes of the materials of elements of the emulated detector, as well as type, number and arrangement of the photodetectors. The two fundamental components of the workbench being presented are a quasi point-like isotropic light source and an Anger camera. The light source is installed on a 3D high-resolution positioning system, has approximately 1mm in diameter, isotropy better than 10% over > 3 and can be configured to emit from 10^3 to 10^6 photons per pulse, with variable pulse duration between 1 ns and 1 s. The Anger camera used in this study consists of an array of seven photomultipliers placed in a hexagonal configuration. The whole system is installed inside a light-tight box with black inner walls to suppress reflected light. Additionally different elements of the emulated detector can be installed inside. The operation of the emulation workbench was successfully validated. In order to do this, the minimal configuration of the workbench was used: only the light source, positioning system and the camera. Reflections from the elements of the workbench were highly suppressed and consequently the signals from the photomultipliers (PMTs) depended, to a very good approximation, only on the position of the source, the amount of emitted photons, the Anger camera geometry and the relative gains of the PMTs. Under these conditions numerical simulations are able to provide reliable predictions of the signals collected by the PMTs, if both PMTs and light source are calibrated. These calibrations were performed and then measurements and simulations were conducted for matching conditions, providing information on the spatial resolution and the reconstruction bias as function of the source position and the number of emitted photons. The obtained results have shown a very good agreement. The system was used to investigate several configurations relevant to the project dedicated to development of a positions sensitive thermal neutrons detector based on a scintillation proportional counter with a Anger camera readout [1], in which our group has been participating. In particular, the maximum likelihood algorithm was used to reconstruct events in case studies covering detector geometries with highly suppressed scattered light, with cylindrical walls built from materials with different light scattering properties and with a glass window interfacing the light source and the array of PMTs. Methods of data processing were developed to parameterize light response of the PMTs from the emulated data. The results demonstrate that the emulation workbench can be effectively applied to design and optimize PSGSDs, targeting the highest possible position (and energy) resolution and minimal reconstruction bias. The workbench can also be used to provide emulated realistic experimental data to test PSGSD readout electronics, study the performance of event reconstruction algorithms or to develop adaptive techniques of the detector response such as those presented in reference [4]. The same concept can be further developed for applications requiring adjustable wavelength and precisely-controlled time emission properties of the light source. It is envisage that this approach may eventually be extended to emulate light emission in liquid and solid scintillators by operating the light source in a volume filled with a liquid with optical properties (e.g. refractive index) matching those of the scintillator in study.

We report on the performance of a large micro-pattern detector with two gas electron multiplier foils and a two-layer readout structure at ground potential. The two readout layers each have a
406 μm pitch and cross at an effective angle of6.7° . This structure allows for two orthogonal coordinates to be determined. Using a muon beam at CERN together with a silicon tracking system, the position resolutions of the two coordinates are measured to be50 μm and 1 mm respectively (1 standard deviation). The muon detection efficiency for the two-dimensional space points reaches96% . The detector was found to be well operational over a wide range in the settings of the different electrical fields.
