Abstract
Abstract: Alpha particle detection performances of a Hamamatsu R1828-01 model and a RCA 6342A model photomultiplier tubes (PMT) were tested. For the sensitivity of the PMTs to alpha particles, an Eljen AJ-440 model ZnS(Ag) scintillator material in sheet form was used in front of their windows. To test their performances, the alpha peaks of an 241Am source and the energy resolution values of the detectors that composed of these PMTs were compared. It has been showed that R1828-01 model PMT utilized for fast timing measurements in radiation detection could be used in alpha particle detection efficiently. This work revealed its another advantageous feature in addition to existing specifications. © 2023, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
