AI Technical Summary
Existing small-area surface contamination monitors based on GM tubes cannot distinguish between alpha and beta radiation types, have long dead times and poor mechanical reliability, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-activity contamination monitoring.
A scintillator combined with a SiPM photoelectric conversion component is used, along with a dual-threshold discrimination and pulse shaping circuit. The scintillator converts the radiation energy of α or β particles into light signals, which are then distinguished using SiPM photomultiplier tubes. The mechanical strength is improved by combining a PVC board and an aluminum foil composite protective layer.
It achieves effective differentiation of α/β radiation, reduces dead time to 1μs, increases counting capability by 50 times, and extends detector life by three times, forming a highly reliable portable monitoring solution.
