Advances in Performance of Microchannel Plate Detectors for HEDP Diagnostics

Journal Article Ming Wu, Craig Kruschwitz, Ken Moy, Greg Rochau - Defense Science Quarterly

In recent years, a team from NSTec and SNL has built a unique capability to develop microchannel plate (MCP)?based framing x-ray cameras for HEDP diagnostics. At the SNL Z facility, multistrip MCP detectors to record up to eight channels are employed in 2-D, sub-nanosecond time-resolved imaging and time- and space-resolved spectroscopy diagnostics. Progressively more stringent technical temporal resolution and response uniformity requirements have necessitated a systematic design approach based on iterative modeling of the MCP using inputs from electrical circuit characterization. An inherently large exponential dependence in MCP gain, V{sup 11.5}, has mandated a firm understanding of the applied voltagemore »« less

Advanced energy-resolving imaging detectors for applications at pulsed neutron sources

Technical Report Feller, Bruce ; White, Brian

NOVA Scientific herein reports results from the DOE SBIR Phase IIB project. We continue to move forward to enhance the effectiveness of very high spatial and timing resolution MCP position-sensitive detectors into the epithermal or “above-thermal” neutron energy range – where NOVA’s neutron-sensitive NeuViewTM MCPs are already widely acknowledged as highly effective for cold and thermal neutron energies. As a result of these developments, these increasingly accepted neutron detection devices will be better able to perform energy-resolved neutron detection and imaging at the growing number of highly advanced pulsed neutron sources internationally, detecting individual neutrons with a spatial resolution ofmore »« less
Development of a Long Life Photomultiplier Tube for High Flux Applications

Technical Report Brandt, Andrew` Gerhart

Development of a Long Life Photomultiplier Tube for High Flux Applications Professor Andrew Brandt, University of Texas, Arlington (Principal Investigator) This detector R&D proposal focuses on the development of long-life microchannel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) capable of high rate operations. Photomultiplier tubes are devices that convert small amounts of light into an electrical signal. They generally consist of three basic parts: i) a photocathode that makes use of the photoelectric effect to convert incoming photons (bits of light) into electrons, ii) an electron multiplying component, and iii) a charge collecting component that outputs a measurable electric signal. MCP-PMTs usemore »« less

Performance studies of atomic layer deposited microchannel plate electron multipliers

Journal Article Ertley, Camden ; Siegmund, O. ; Cremer, T. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Microchannel plate (MCP) photon counting, event timing, imaging detectors have found wide use in astronomical, remote sensing, and biological imaging applications. Novel MCP technology using borosilicate glass microcapillary array substrates functionalized by the application of resistive and secondary emissive layers using atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques has the potential to outperform traditional MCP technology. Using ALD techniques to functionalize the MCPs allow customization of parameters like gain and resistance independently from the glass substrate. Borosilicate substrates have many advantages over traditional micro-capillary arrays, including low radioactive content, higher open area ratios, low outgassing, and high operational stability. These ALD MCPsmore »« less

High frame rate CCD cameras with fast optical shutters for military and medical imaging applications

Conference King, N.S.P. ; Albright, K. ; Jaramillo, S.A. ; ...

Los Alamos National Laboratory has designed and prototyped high-frame rate intensified/shuttered Charge-Coupled-Device (CCD) cameras capable of operating at kilohertz frame rates (non-interlaced mode) with optical shutters capable of acquiring nanosecond-to-microsecond exposures each frame. These cameras utilize an Interline Transfer CCD, Loral Fairchild CCD-222 with 244 {times} 380 pixels operated at pixel rates approaching 100 Mhz. Initial prototype designs demonstrated single-port serial readout rates exceeding 3.97 Kilohertz with greater than 51p/mm spatial resolution at shutter speeds as short as 5ns. Readout was achieved by using a truncated format of 128 {times} 128 pixels by partial masking of the CCD and thenmore »« less
