Characterization of an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence imaging system base...
Silva, A. L. M.; Azevedo, C. D. R.; Oliveira, C. A. B.; Santos, J. M. F. dos; Carvalho, M. L.; Veloso, J. F. C. A.An Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) imaging system based on a Micropattern Gas Detector has already shown good results for di erent applications. An X-ray tube, a pinhole camera and a Micro-Hole and Strip Plate (MHSP) based detector are the main components of the experimental system. The detector uses an MHSP in a Xe atmosphere at 1 bar, acting as a photon counting device, i.e., it is capable to rec...
Simulation method for position and energy corrections in scintillation detectors
Oliveira, C. A. B.; Azevedo, C. D. R.; Ferreira, A. L.; Veloso, J. F. C. A.The first steps towards a Monte Carlo simulation method for energy and position corrections in a gas scintillator detector are presented. Recent developments on gas avalanche detectors based on microstructures operating a thigh pressure allow fair detection efficiency for hard X- and gamma-rays. A hybrid system combining an assisted scintillation in a high pressure xenon gas medium and two UV photosensors based...

Azevedo, C. D. R.; Oliveira, C. A. B.; Santos, J. M. F. dos; Veloso, J. F. C. A.Recent developments on gas avalanche detectors based on microstructures operating at high pressure allow fair detection efficiency for hard X- and gamma-rays. A hybrid system combining an assisted scintillation in a highpressure xenon gas medium and two UV photosensors based on microstructures operating face to face, having the xenon medium sandwiched between, is under investigation for imaging purposes. To eva...
High-rate operation of the Micro-Hole and Strip Plate gas detector
Veloso, J. F. C. A.; Caldas, C. C.; Oliveira, C. A. B.; Azevedo, C. D. R.; Santos, J. M. F. dos; Breskin, A.; Chechik, R.We report the performance of the Micro-Hole-and-Strip-Plate (MHSP) operated in xenon, under high-flux irradiation of a 30-kV X-ray Cu-tube. Stable operation in pulse-counting mode for gas gains above 104 was measured up to counting rates of 5×105 Hz/mm2. A gain variation of less than 5% was observed for gains of 104, while the energy resolution for 8-keV X-rays degrades from ~16% to ~18%. No visible degradation...
