gigantic particle detectors at four interaction points along the ring record the proton collisions that are generated
That's a lot of collision data, says SMU physicist Robert Kehoe, a member of the ATLAS particle detector experiment with Stroynowski and other SMU physicists.
Data from the ATLAS particle detector's Liquid Argon Calorimeter is transmitted via 1 524 small fiber-optic transmitters.
the researchers demonstrated the material's potential for creating high-performance, low-cost, room-temperature semiconductor radiation detectors. In a paper published this week in the Journal of Applied Physics, from AIP Publishing,
Du's research established a theoretical foundation for the development of thallium sulfide iodide radiation detectors, opening doors for a new generation of room-temperature semiconductor radiation detectors.
The Limits of Conventional Radiation Detectorssemiconductor radiation detectors are devices that measure ionizing radiation by collecting radiation-generated charge carriers in the semiconductor between electrodes under a bias voltage.
In recent years, scientists have been seeking new materials for room-temperature radiation detectors. A semiconductor material called cadmium zinc telluride (Cdznte) has been found to be the best candidate to date,
and can be used to create a thinner, low-cost radiation detector. A good radiation detection material should have efficient charge transport property,
Studying the native defects and their effects on charge transport in a material are hence essential for the performance improvement of a radiation detector.
low melting temperature and so on, suggest that thallium sulfide iodide is a good candidate for fabricating new generation room-temperature radiation detectors with improved performance and lower cost than previous detectors,
