A study of an SiPM-based plastic scintillation detector for radioxenon measurements

Four radioxenon isotopes are key radionuclides in nuclear explosions monitoring under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification regime. Due to the high sensitivity of the β–γ coincidence method, it is widely used in International Monitoring System radionuclide station equipment. Plastic...

Zusammenfassung:Four radioxenon isotopes are key radionuclides in nuclear explosions monitoring under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification regime. Due to the high sensitivity of the β–γ coincidence method, it is widely used in International Monitoring System radionuclide station equipment. Plastic scintillation detectors and HPGe detectors are one option, with some technological issues that need to be addressed. In this work, a plastic scintillation detector based on a silicon photomultiplier tube (SiPM) array readout is developed, and the essential performance is evaluated. The SiPM-based detector is compact and can be applied successfully to mixed radioactive xenon measurement.
