Mixed Material Scintillator Systems Position Reconstruction Modelling Report

A Mixed-Material Scintillator System (MMSS) is a radiation detector using a scintillator made of a heterogeneous, structured mixture of two or more materials. MMSSs are designed so that the structured mixing of materials encodes properties of the radiation detected in the scintillator. This allows for new radiation detectors with advantages over detectors using traditional homogeneous scintillators.

Mixed Material Scintillator Systems Particle ID Modelling Report

AMixed-Material Scintillator System (MMSS) is a radiation detector using a scintillator made of a heterogeneous, structured mixture of two or more materials. MMSSs are designed so that the structured mixing of materials encodes properties of the radiation detected in the scintillator. This allows for new radiation detectors with advantages over detectors using traditional homogeneous scintillators. This report contains results from this project’s second task, to model and quantify the promise of the MMSSs invented earlier in the project. Those inventions have been divided into two categories, and this report focuses on the first category: MMSS inventions the use zones of differently-colored scintillators to detect and characterize neutron sources. We call this category particle-ID, or PID, detectors. Inventions using gradients designed to encode the position of radiation interactions using gradients will be discussed in a future report.
