A Novel 3He Scintillation Detector

G.F. Knoll, Thomas M. Henderson, William J. Felmlee

Abstract

A 3He scintillation detector of unique design has been fabricated and tested. It incorporates high-pressure helium gas contained within small spherical glass shells dispersed in a plastic scintillator matrix. The detector displays a unique combination of properties including high detection efficiency, fast response, and convenient physical form.
