New prototype scintillator detector for the Tibet ASγ experiment

Abstract

A: The hybrid Tibet AS array was successfully constructed in 2014. It has 4500 m 2 underground water Cherenkov pools used as the muon detector (MD) and 789 scintillator detectors covering 36900 m 2 as the surface array. At 100 TeV, cosmic-ray background events can be rejected by approximately 99.99%, according to the full Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for γ-ray observations. In order to use the muon detector efficiently, we propose to extend the surface array area to 72900 m 2 by adding 120 scintillator detectors around the current array to increase the effective detection area. A new prototype scintillator detector is developed via optimizing the detector geometry and its optical surface, by selecting the reflective material and adopting dynode readout. This detector can meet our physics requirements with a positional non-uniformity of the output charge within 10% (with reference to the center of the scintillator), time resolution FWHM of ∼2.2 ns, and dynamic range from 1 to 500 minimum ionization particles.

Characterization of the photomultiplier tubes for the scintillation detectors of GRANDProto35 experiment

“…The scintillation tile is made of EJ-200 plastic scintillator [11] with a dimension of 707 mm × 707 mm × 30 mm. The scintillation light generated by the tile transfers to the photocathode of a PMT through the light guide [12]. The PMT characteristics will directly affect the performance of the detector and some requirements for the PMTs are summarized in table 1.…”

Fully Closed-Loop Recyclable Thermosetting Polythiourethane Microspheres and Their Application in Efficient Fabrication of Composites with Segregated Structures

“…11 CANs rely on dynamic covalent bonds that can break/reform and recombine either autonomously or with appropriate stimuli (esp. light 12,13 and heat 14−16 ), endowing polymers with unprecedented properties, such as self-healing, 14,17,18 recyclability, 19,20 weldability, 21 and reprocess-abIlity. 22−24 So far, many dynamic covalent bonds, such as Diels−Alder, 25,26 transesterification, 27,28 carbamate bonds, 29 thiol−ene click reactions, 30 disulfide bonds, 31−33 thiocarbamate bonds, 34−36 thiol−anhydride, 37 transimination, 38 boronic esters, 39,40 siloxane exchange, 41 and hindered urea bonds, 42 have been applied to design the thermosetting polymers with various types of CANs.…”
