Here, we report on a particular type of RPC that presents up to 99% efficiency for minimum
ionizing particles and a very sharp time resolution, below 50ps σ in the most optimized …

Neutron detection is used in a wide range of applications in nuclear physics, radiation
protection, nuclear fuel cycle, reactor instrumentation, security and industrial measurement …

Abstract Tissue-equivalent gases (TEGs), often made of a hydrocarbon, nitrogen, and
carbon dioxide, have been employed in microdosimetry for decades. However, data on the …

The dependence of the detection efficiency (or charge gain) of a resistive detector on the
counting rate has been considered by several authors. The influence of the resistivity of the …

The presence of secondary processes in electron multiplication under high uniform electric
fields at atmospheric pressure in pure isobutane was investigated. The experimental setup …

A digital β-counting method has been developed for high-precision nuclear β-decay half-life
experiments that use a gas proportional counter. An 8-bit, 1-GS/s sampling-rate digitizer was …

Detectors with highly resistive electrodes, particularly RPCs, have been studied extensively
in recent years. Several authors considered the effect of rate on the detector response …

Gaseous microdosimeters usually employ a Tissue-equivalent Gas (TEG), made of a
hydrocarbon, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, in order to make similar the stop** power in …

Neste trabalho são apresentados os valores do primeiro coeficiente de Townsend de
ionização, α, para o isobutano puro, obtidos com uma câmara de placas paralelas de …

The main advantage of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), applied, for instance, in High-
Energy Experiments and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), is that it is spark-protected …
