Important aspects of a detector: (1) Losses (2) Efficiency (3) Energy resolution v Time v Random loss (Inevitable) Serious loss Losses v v

Random losses (always there) Resolving time of the detector electronic: t s the maximum rate without losses: 1/t s. Losses  as rate . Quanta Absorbed /second Quanta Detected /second Counting loss Detector 1 Detector 2 Use filters Noise?

Efficiency: f abs,w : f abs,d : effective excitation (  signals) f losses : counting losses window 11- f abs,w ~ 1

Different detector: different wavelength range to detect! Efficiency of a 10-cm-long gas ionization chamber as a function of energy, for different gases at normal pressure.

For most of the detectors Voltage produced  energy of X-ray quanta. Counting rate Pulse amplitude V W R   resolution  Resolution Energy Resolution :

Gas filled detector: Proportional and Geiger counter R C Wire anode cathode X-rays electron-ion pairs produced: E: X-ray energy; e i : effective ionization potential e i for He, Ar, and Xe: 27.8, 26.4, and 20.8 eV; Using Cu K  radiation, Ar gas: n = 8040/26.4 = 304

Gain may be defines as N: # of electrons reaching wire anode; n: # of electron produced by X-ray quanta

Typical Gain ~ G = 10 4 Cu radiation on Ar gas filled proportional counter 304  10 4 = 3.04  Typical F farad. Small voltage  need further electronic amplification Bias larger enough (~ several KV)  avalanches (G saturated)  “Geiger counter” (long deadtime)

Safety Precautions  Electric shock  Radiation Hazard: user’s responsibility (your own and others) * Four main causes of accidents (1) Poor equipment configuration, e.g. unused beam ports not covered, interlock system is not engaged. (2) Manipulation of equipment when energized, e.g. adjustment of samples or alignment of optics when x-ray beam is on. (3) Equipment failure, e.g. shutter failure, warning light failure. (4) Inadequate training or violation of procedure

Failure to follow proper procedures has been the result of:  rushing to complete a job,  fatigue  illness,  personal problems,  lack of communication, or  complacency

* Radiological Signs * Everyone should participate the safety training course offered by the University before actually doing X-ray or other radiation related experiments.
