"Unattended Sensor System with CLYC Detectors"

Lee; Benjamin S. McDonald; David M. Pfund; Rebecca L. Redding; John E. Smart; Matthew S. Taubman; Carlos R. Torres-Torres; Clinton G. Wiseman


We have developed an unattended sensor for detecting anomalous radiation sources. The system combines several technologies to reduce size and weight, increase battery lifetime, and improve decision-making capabilities. Sixteen Cs2LiYCl6:Ce (CLYC) scintillators allow for gamma-ray spectroscopy and neutron detection in the same volume. Low-power electronics for readout, high voltage bias, and digital processing reduce the total operating power to 1.7 W. Computationally efficient analysis algorithms perform spectral anomaly detection and isotope identification. When an alarm occurs, the system transmits alarm information over a cellular modem. ikm In this paper, we describe the overall design of the unattended sensor, present characterization results, and compare the performance to stock NaI:Tl and 3He detectors. more...

"SFERA: an Integrated Circuit for the Readout of X and γ-ray Detectors "

by Filippo Schembari, Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria, Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy; Riccardo Quaglia ; Giovanni Bellotti ; Carlo Fiorini


In this work we present SFERA, a low-noise fully-programmable 16 channel readout ASIC designed for both X- and \gamma -ray spectroscopy and imaging applications. The chip is designed to process signals coming from solid-state detectors and CMOS preamplifiers. The design has been guided by the use of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) and CUBE charge sensitive amplifiers (CSAs), although we consider the ASIC sufficiently versatile to be used with other types of detectors. Five different gains are implemented, namely 2800~e^{-} , 4400~e^{-} , 10000~e^{-} , 14000~e^{-} and 20000~e^{-} , considering the input connected to a 25 fF feedback capacitance CMOS preamplifier. Filter peaking times ( math\rm {t}_{P} ) are also programmable among 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 \mu math\rm {s} . Each readout channel is the cascade of a 9th order semi-Gaussian shaping-amplifier (SA) and a peak detector (PKS), followed by a dedicated pile-up rejection (PUR) digital logic. Three data multiplexing strategies are implemented: the so-called polling X, intended for high-rate X-ray applications, the polling \gamma , for scintillation light detection and the sparse, for signals derandomization. The spectroscopic characterization has shown an energy resolution of 122.1 eV FWHM on the Mn- math\rm {K}_{\alpha } line of an 55Fe X-ray source using a 10~math\rm {mm}^{2} SDD cooled at −35 °C at 4~\mu math\rm {s} filter peaking time. The measured resolution is 130 eV at the peaking time of 500 ns. At 1 Mcps input count rate and 500 ns peaking time, we have measured 42% of processed events at the output of the ASIC after the PUR selection. Output data can be digitized on-chip by means of an embedded 12-bit successive-approximation ADC. The effective resolution of the data converter is 10.75-bit when operated at 4.5 MS/s. The chosen technology is the AMS 0.35~\mu math\rm {m} CMOS and the chip area occupancy is 5\times 5~math\rm {mm}^{2} . more...

"Analytical Modelling and Simulation of Single and Double Cone Pinholes for Real-Time In-Body Tracking of an HDR Brachytherapy Source "

by Saree Alnaghy Centre for Medical Radiation Physics, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW, Australia Mitra Safavi-Naeini ; Daniel R. Franklin ; Zhangbo Han ; Dean L. Cutajar ; Marco Petasecca ; Michael Lerch ; Anatoly B. Rosenfeld


The choice of pinhole geometry is a critical factor in the performance of pinhole-collimator-based source tracking systems for brachytherapy QA. In this work, an analytical model describing the penetrative sensitivity of a single-cone pinhole collimator to photons emitted from a point source is derived. Using existing models for single-cone resolution and double-cone sensitivity and resolution, the theoretical sensitivity and resolution of the single-cone collimator are quantitatively compared with those of a double-cone collimator with an equivalent field of view. Monte Carlo simulations of the single and double-cone pinhole collimators using an accurate 3D model of a commercial high dose rate brachytherapy source are performed to evaluate the relative performance of each geometry for a novel real-time HDR brachytherapy QA system, HDR BrachyView. The theoretical penetrative sensitivity of the single-cone pinhole is shown to be higher than the double-cone pinhole, which is in agreement with the results from the Monte Carlo simulations. The wider pinhole response function of the single-cone collimator results in a larger total error between the projected center of the source and the estimated center of mass of the source projection for the single-cone collimator, with the greatest error (at the maximum FoV angle) being 0.54 mm for the double-cone pinhole and 1.37 mm for the single-cone at \theta ={ 60^ \circ } . The double-cone pinhole geometry is determined to be the most appropriate choice for the pinhole collimator in the HDR BrachyView probe. more...
