(U) Segmented Scintillator Pitch, Thickness, and Septa Material Effects on the Swank Factor, Quantum Efficiency, and DQE(0) for High-Energy X-Ray Radiography
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Scintillator design is an important aspect in constructing a radiographic facility in order to collect the most robust data possible. For the proposed Enhanced Capabilities for Sub-critical Experiment (ECSE) facility in Nevada, we explored a permutation of 13 segmented scintillator designs in order to understand the best performance and trade offs for each design. We calculated the quantum efficiency, Swank factor, and detective quantum efficiency at zero-frequency (DQE(0)) for each scintillator design in order to compare performance.
