Abstract:Position-sensitive detectors consisting of optical fibers such as scintillating fibers, normal optical plastic fibers, and liquid light guides have been developed as radiation sensors to monitor long-range distributions of radioactive isotopes. Because of losses of optical transmission due to radiation damage in high-level radiation environments, however, both scintillating fibers and normal optical plastic fibers are less applicable to areas of high dose rate. In order to develop a flexible fiber-type radiati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
