在这项工作中,我们试图建立一个由盖革模式雪崩光电二极管读出的塑料闪烁体组成的闪烁计数器所能达到的最佳时间分辨率。测量到的时间分辨率与沉积在闪烁体中的能量的平方根成反比,在1MeV下的尺度为σ=18ps。这一结果可与光电倍增管的最佳结果相媲美。
In this work we attempt to establish the best time resolution attainable with a scintillation counter consisting of a plastic scintillator read out by a Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiode. The measured time resolution is inversely proportional to the square root of the energy deposited in the scintillator, and scales to σ=18ps at 1MeV. This result competes with the best ones reported for photomultiplier tubes.
