“…Their design and production is supported by an extensive and experienced industrial base with four decades of development. The application of PDPs as particle detectors is referred to as a plasma panel sensor (PPS) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The primary motivation underlying the PPS concept is to use well established manufacturing processes of PDPs to develop scalable, inexpensive and hermetically sealed gaseous detectors with the potential for a broad range of commercial and research applications.…”

This article reports on the development and experimental results of commercial plasma display panels adapted for their potential use as micropattern gas radiation detectors. The plasma panel sensor (PPS) design and materials include glass substrates, metal electrodes and inert gas mixtures which provide a physically robust, hermetically-sealed device. Plasma display panels used as detectors were tested with cosmic ray muons, beta rays and gamma rays, protons, and thermal neutrons. The results demonstrated rise times and time resolution of a few nanoseconds, as well as sub-millimeter spatial resolution compatible with the pixel pitch.

“…The design and production of PDPs is supported by an extensive and experienced industrial base with four decades of development. The Plasma Panel Sensor (PPS) is a novel variant of the micropattern radiation detector [1] [2][3] [4], and should exploit the industrial and technology base of the plasma display panels. A PDP comprises millions of cells (3 cells form one pixel in a color PDP) per square meter, each of which, when provided with a signal pulse, can initiate and sustain a plasma discharge.…”

A radiation detector based on plasma display panel technology, which is the principal component of plasma television displays is presented. Plasma Panel Sensor (PPS) technology is a variant of micropattern gas radiation detectors. The PPS is conceived as an array of sealed plasma discharge gas cells which can be used for fast response (0(5ns) per pixel), high spatial resolution detection (pixel pitch can be less than 100 micrometer) of ionizing and minimum ionizing particles. The PPS is assembled from non-reactive, intrinsically radiation-hard materials: glass substrates, metal electrodes and inert gas mixtures. We report on the PPS development program, including simulations and design and the first laboratory studies which demonstrate the usage of plasma display panels in measurements of cosmic ray muons, as well as the expansion of experimental results on the detection of betas from radioactive sources.

“…However the detectors using this technology have problems, such as fabrication difficulty, high operation voltage, low conversion efficiency, short lifetime and high production cost. Recently a plasma display panel (hereinafter "PDP") has focused as a candidate for flat-panel radiation detector because of low production cost, easy fabrication, large area device and possibility of charge amplification within the cell [3][4] . In this study 2-dimensional plasma simulation code was used to find a new approach of x-ray direct-conversion method with PDP-like geometry and condition.…”

In this study 2-dimensional plasma simulation code was used to find a new approach of x-ray detection method with PDP-like geometry and condition. A conventional PDP geometry consisted of three electrodes was selected and Ne-Xe composition gas was filled the cell-gap. Depending on incident X-ray energy, the number of charges generated within the cell-gap could be different. For the charge amplification and collection of charges two consecutive ac pulses were applied to scan and address electrodes. The increased charges were collected on the positive-bias address electrode at the rear panel. Two parameters, such as amplitude of collected current and formation delay of collected current, were calculated and compared. The formation delay showed more accurate relationship than the collected current amplitude.
