Scintillation Strip Detector of a Hybrid Hodoscope for Muon Tomography of Large-scale Objects
摘要
Abstract
A hybrid muon hodoscope for muonography of large-scale objects was created at the Scientific and Educational Center NEVOD (MEPhI). The hodoscope multichannel detection system consists of a scintillation strip detector and a drift tube detector and is designed to record tracks of charged particles, mainly muons. The scintillation strip detector is an independent track detector that forms the initial track position and the trigger signal for the drift tube detector. The article describes the design of a scintillation strip detector and principles of operation of the readout electronics and also provides the main technical characteristics.
