Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions

Seminar of Physical Sectors

Date and Time: Friday, 29 March 2019, at 11:00 AM

Venue: Conference Hall, Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions

Seminar topic: «Advances in scintillation detector materials and light detection techniques»

Speaker: Dr. P. Schotanus (SCIONIX, Holland)

Abstract:

The last years new scintillation crystals have been developed with superior properties compared to classic materials. An overview is presented of where stand with all these developments and what the practical use is of these new materials.
The recent improvement of silicon photomultipliers allows the design of novel scintillation sensors that can be used in very strong magnetic fields, operate at low voltage and which are very compact in size. The advantages and disadvantages of this technology is presented with some practical examples.
