Protons from the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center have been used for pulsed radiography in dynamic experiments for the past 25 years. Pulses of protons are imaged on a scintillator, and the light from these images is captured by fast gated cameras. The need for fast, bright scintillators has led to some compromises in image quality due to tiling the scintillators and backgrounds with totally internally reflected light. We show how large-grain scintillator screens, made using a thin plastic binder, solve these problems.
在过去25年里，来自洛斯阿拉莫斯中子科学中心的质子已被用于动态实验中的脉冲射线照相。质子脉冲在闪烁体上成像，这些图像发出的光由快速门控相机捕获。由于使用全内反射光对闪烁体和背景进行拼接，对快速、明亮闪烁体的需求导致了图像质量方面的一些妥协。我们展示了如何使用薄塑料粘合剂制成的大晶粒闪烁体屏幕解决这些问题。
