Download or read book Particle Detectors written by Hermann Kolanoski and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 949 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the fundamentals of particle detectors as well as their applications. Detector development is an important part of nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics, and through its applications in radiation imaging, it paves the way for advancements in the biomedical and materials sciences. Knowledge in detector physics is one of the required skills of an experimental physicist in these fields. The breadth of knowledge required for detector development comprises many areas of physics and technology, starting from interactions of particles with matter, gas- and solid-state physics, over charge transport and signal development, to elements of microelectronics. The book's aim is to describe the fundamentals of detectors and their different variants and implementations as clearly as possible and as deeply as needed for a thorough understanding. While this comprehensive opus contains all the materials taught in experimental particle physics lectures or modules addressing detector physics at the Master's level, it also goes well beyond these basic requirements. This is an essential text for students who want to deepen their knowledge in this field. It is also a highly useful guide for lecturers and scientists looking for a starting point for detector development work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiation detectors are fundamental tools for the quantitative characterization of therapeutic fields of ionizing radiation. Dosimetry measurements aim to quantify the amount of energy deposited in the body (dose). Therefore, an ideal detector would respond to radiation the same way the human body does. However, the fact that most radiation detectors are not tissue equivalent poses a major challenge. Organic electronics are attractive candidates for radiation detectors due to their potential to be made flexible, configuration highly customizable, wide selection of materials, and tissue equivalence. In this thesis we investigate a novel detector (stemless plastic scintillation detector - SPSD), which couples an organic photodiode to a plastic scintillator. Plastic scintillation detectors (PSDs) offer characteristics that are ideal for the measurement of small fields (high spatial resolution, real-time measurements, tissue equivalence, etc.). However, PSDs suffer from Cerenkov radiation (created in the optical fiber) contaminating the signal and must be corrected. The SPSD detector eliminates the need for an optical fiber to carry the signal. Such a detector could have the advantages of a PSD, while removing the main drawback. A series of four manuscripts form the basis for this thesis. The first manuscript showed an organic photodiode had potential as a radiation detector directly (linearity with dose rate and output factors agreed with a commercial detector). The second explained and validated a novel method for the correction of an extraneous signal (Compton current) in organic photodiode detectors. The third manuscript investigated a single-element SPSD, which was fabricated by coupling an organic photodiode to an organic scintillator. The SPSD was characterized by measuring various dependencies of the detector including: instantaneous dose rate dependence, energy dependence, directional dependence, and linearity with dose. Furthermore, Cerenkov radiation was shown to be minimal and the directional dependence it caused could be effectively eliminated by using reflective tape. The dependencies were encouraging for use as a detector. The culmination of the work was the fourth manuscript, which presented the fabrication of a 1D array SPSD, which demonstrated the accurate measurement of small field profiles and output factors.
