Data pubblicazione: | 2015 | Titolo del volume in cui è pubblicato il poster: | 2015 4th International Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation Measurement Methods and their Applications (ANIMMA) | Da pagina:: | 1 | Abstract: | The Muon Portal Project is a joint initiative between research and industrial partners, aimed at the construction of a real size detector protoype (6×3×7 m3) for the inspection of containers by the muon scattering technique, devised to search for hidden high-Z fissile materials and provide a full 3D tomography of the interior of the container in a scanning time of the order of minutes. The muon tracking detector is based on a set of 48 detection modules (size 1 m × 3 m), each built with 100 extruded scintillator strips, so as to provide four X-Y detection planes, two placed above and two below the container to be inspected. Two wavelength shifting (WLS) fibres embedded in each strip convey the emitted photons to Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) which act as photosensors. After a research and development phase, which led to the choice and test of the individual components, the construction of the full size detector has already started. The paper describes the results of the mass characterization of the photosensors and the construction and test measurements of the first detection modules of the Project. | Titolo del convegno: | 4th International Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation Measurement Methods and their Applications (ANIMMA) | Luogo del convegno: | Lisbon, Portugal | Periodo del convegno: | 20-24 April 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23982 | URL: | https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7465287/ | ISBN: | 978-1-4799-9918-7 | DOI: | 10.1109/ANIMMA.2015.7465287 | Fulltext: | open |
