3 Lecture 9 Scintillating Detectors and Calorimeters
4 Scintillation photodetector Energy deposition by ionizing particle production of scintillation light (luminescense) Scintillators are multi purpose detectors: calorimetry time of flight measurement tracking detector (fibers) trigger counter veto counter Two material types: Inorganic and organic scintillators
5 Organic materials sp 2 -hybridisation: 2p x and 2p y mix with s-orbital -orbital p z remains unchanged π-orbital
6 Pi electron energy levels Organic scintillators: Monocrystals or liquids or plastic solutions Monocrystals: naphtalene, anthracene, p-terphenyl. Liquid and plastic scintillators They consist normally of a solvent + secondary (and tertiary) fluors as wavelength shifters. Fluorescence sec peak ~ 320 nm ~10-11 sec non-radiative transition ~ 10-6 sec (Förster transf.) Phosphorescence 10-4 sec Fast energy transfer via non-radiative dipole-dipole interactions (Förster transfer). shift emission to longer wavelengths longer absorption length and efficient read-out device
7 Wavelength shifting no self-absorption also used for light re-direction
8 Organic scintillators Practical organic scintillators uses a solvent + large concentration of primary fluor + smaller concentration of secondary fluor +... The emitted wavelength is always longer or equal to the incident wavelength. The difference is absorbed as heat in the atomic lattice of the material.
9 Organic scintillators have low Z (H,C) Low density (< 2 g/cm 3 ) Low g detection efficiency (practically only Compton effect). But high neutron detection efficiency via (n,p) reactions.
10 Inorganic Crystalline Scintillators The most common inorganic scintillator is sodium iodide activated with a trace amount of thallium [NaI(Tl)]. Energy bands in impurity activated crystal often 2 time constants: fast recombination (ns - µs) from activation center delayed recombination due to trapping (100 ms)
11 BaF 2 fast and slow signals 200ns/square 2ns/square
12 Inorganic Crystalline Scintillators Strong dependence of the light output and the decay time with temperature. * * Bismuth germinate Bi 4 Ge 3 O 12 is the crystalline form of an inorganic oxide with cubic eulytine** structure, colourless, transparent, and insoluble in water. ** From the Greek eulitos = "easily liquefiable", in allusion to its low melting point.
13 Inorganic scintillators PbWO 4 ingot and final polished CMS ECAL scintillator crystal from Bogoroditsk Techno-Chemical Plant (Russia).
14 Liquified Noble Gases: LAr, LXe, LKr Also here one finds 2 time constants: from a few ns to 1 ms. from C. D'Ambrosio, Academic Training, 2005

19 Optical fibers for tracking Scintillating plastic fibers Capillary fibers, filled with liquid scintillator Planar geometries (end cap) Circular geometries (barrel) (R.C. Ruchti, Annu. Rev. Nucl. Sci. 1996, 46,281) High geometrical flexibility Fine granularity Low mass Fast response (ns) (if fast read out) first level trigger a) axial b) circumferential c) helical
20 Scintillating fiber tracking (H. Leutz, NIM A 364 (1995) 422) Charged particle passing through a stack of scintillating fibers (diam. 1mm) Hexagonal fibers with double cladding. Only central fiber illuminated. Low cross talk!
21 Photon Detectors Purpose: Convert light into detectable (electronic) signal Principle: Use photoelectric effect to convert photons (g) to photoelectrons (pe) Standard requirements: High sensitivity, usually expressed as: quantum efficiency: QE(%) radiant sensitivity S(mA/W): Low intrinsic noise Low gain fluctuations High active area N pe N g QE(%) 124 S( ma/ W ) l( nm)
22 Photon detectors Photon detectors Main types of photon detectors: gas-based vacuum-based solid-state hybrid Photoemission threshold W ph of various materials TEA TMAE,CsI Ultra Violet (UV) Visible Bialkali Infra Red (IR) Multialkali GaAs E [ev] l [nm]
23 The photoelectric effect 3-step process: absorbed g s impart energy to electrons (e) in the material; energized e s diffuse through the material, losing part of their energy; e s reaching the surface with sufficient excess energy escape from it; ideal photo-cathode (PC) must absorb all g s and emit all created e s Semi-transparent PC Opaque PC Optical window g e - Vacuum e - g Substrate

26 Transmission of optical windows
27 Scintillator-Photomultiplier system (in-)organic material scintillation light light guide transmission scint. to tube photomultiplier signal amplification
28 Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) Basic principle: Photo-emission from photocathode Secondary emission (SE) from N Dynodes: dynode gain g 3 50 (function of incoming electron energy E) total gain M: Example: 10 dynodes with g = 4 M = M N i 1 g i
29 Secondary Electron Emission Approximately the same as the Photo Electric Effect. On electron impact, energy is transferred directly to the electrons in the secondary electron emission material allowing a number of secondary electrons to escape. Since the conducting electrons in metals hinder this escape, insulators and semiconductors are used. Materials in common use are: Ag/Mg, Cu/Be and Cs/Sb. Use has also been made of negative affinity materials as dynodes, in particular GaP.
30 SE coefficient d Counts Counts SE coefficient d Gain fluctuation of PMT s Mainly determined by the fluctuations of the number m(d) of secondary e s emitted from the dynodes; GaP(Cs) NEA dynodes E A <0 Poisson distribution: P ( m) d m d e m! d Standard deviation: d 1 m d d d fluctuations dominated by 1 st dynode gain; CuBe dynodes E A >0 (Photonis) E energy 1 pe 2 pe 1 pe 3 pe (H. Houtermanns, NIM 112 (1973) 121) (Photonis) Noise (Photonis) Pulse height E energy Pulse height
31 Dynode configurations of PMT s Traditional Position-sensitive Mesh Metall-channel (fine-machining techniques) PMT s are in general very sensitive to magnetic fields, even to earth field (30-60 µt). Magnetic shielding required.
32 The Micro Channel Plate (MCP) (Hamamatsu) Continuous dynode chain Pb-glass Pore : 2 mm Pitch: 3 mm Kind of 2D PMT: + high gain up to ; + fast signal (transit time spread ~50 ps); + less sensitive to B-field (0.1 T); - limited lifetime (0.5 C/cm 2 ); - limited rate capability (ma/cm 2 ); (Burle Industries)

D Ambrosio et al. NIM A 338 (1994) p. 396.
35 Solid-state photon detectors Photodiodes: P(I)N type p layer very thin (< 1 µm), as visible light is rapidly absorbed by silicon High QE(80% at 700 nm) No gain: cannot be used for single photon detection Avalanche phtodiode: High reverse bias voltage: typ V due to doping profile, high internal field and avalanche multiplication High gain: typ
36 Light absorption in Silicon
37 Special photo diodes APD SPAD Avalanche PhotoDiode Bias: slightly below breakdown Linear-mode: it s an amplifier Gain: limited < 1000 Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Bias: well above breakdown Geiger-mode trigger device Gain huge Passive quenching by serial resistor at output (simple but slow ~ 200 ns) Active quenching via additional CMOS circuitry faster
38 APD/SPAD quantum efficiency
39 Triggering device Scintillation is fast perfect for triggering on particle beam e.g. finger counters, veto panels, etc. often used in test beams
