研究目的
Studying the characteristics and radiation damage effects in multi-doped Gd3Al2Ga3O12 scintillation crystals for potential use in the Phase II upgrade of the LHCb electromagnetic calorimeter.
研究成果
The multi-doped GAGG scintillator demonstrated good radiation hardness and is a promising candidate for use in electromagnetic calorimeters in high-radiation environments like the High-Luminosity LHC.
研究不足
The study was limited by the inability to measure optical transmission immediately after proton irradiation due to activation of the crystals. Measurements were delayed until radioactivity levels were safe.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved irradiating samples of the scintillator with γ (60Co) and 24 GeV protons to assess their radiation tolerance and optical transmission changes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared with lateral dimensions of 20×20 mm2 and thicknesses of 2 mm and 10 mm.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Varian Cary 50 spectrophotometer was used for optical transmission measurements. Samples were irradiated at the Minsk irradiation facilities and the CERN Proton Synchrotron.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Optical transmission was measured before and after irradiation. The formation of radioisotopes was analyzed using gamma spectroscopy.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The induced absorption coefficient was calculated from transmission measurements. FLUKA simulations were used to predict isotope formation and compare with experimental results.
