研究目的
Investigating the use of YAP(Ce) in the development of high spatial resolution radiation imaging detectors for alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma photons.
研究成果
The YAP(Ce)-based imaging detector achieved high spatial and energy resolutions for alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma photons, making it a promising scintillator for high-resolution radiation imaging applications.
研究不足
The study used a thin YAP(Ce) plate (0.5 mm thick) to achieve high resolution, which may limit the detector's sensitivity for thicker samples. The spatial resolution for thicker YAP(Ce) plates was not evaluated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a YAP(Ce) scintillator plate optically coupled to a position-sensitive photomultiplier (PSPMT) to develop a radiation imaging detector. The Anger principle was employed to calculate radiation positions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The performance of the detector was evaluated using alpha particles (5.5 MeV from Am-241), gamma photons (122 keV from Co-57, 60 keV from Am-241), X-rays (~32 keV from Cs-137), and beta particles (maximum energy of 254 keV from Ca-45).

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: A 0.5 mm thick YAP(Ce) plate, a 25.4 mm square HQE PSPMT (R8900-100-C12, Hamamatsu Photonics), silicone rubber (KE420, Shin-etsu Silicone), and a tungsten slit mask were used.
4:5 mm thick YAP(Ce) plate, a 4 mm square HQE PSPMT (R8900-100-C12, Hamamatsu Photonics), silicone rubber (KE420, Shin-etsu Silicone), and a tungsten slit mask were used.
Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The detector was tested with different radiation sources to measure spatial and energy resolutions. The PSPMT was supplied with high voltage, and the output signals were processed to form images and energy spectra.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Spatial resolution was evaluated using slit masks, and energy resolution was determined from energy spectra derived from regions of interest on the images.
