Abstract:
Regarding to the radiation detector 10, which has the scintillator 16 placed on the light incidence plane plate member of the photomultiplier tube by use of the optical binder 14 interposed therebetween, and which includes a coated film FLM formed so as to cover the scintillator and at least part of the side tube portion 12b of the photomultiplier tube, since the scintillator and the photomultiplier tube are strongly fixed to each other by use of the coating film FLM, so that the size increase of the radiation detector can be suppressed.
Abstract:
An alkali metal generating agent (1) for use in forming a photoelectric surface emitting a photoelectron corresponding to an incident light or a secondary electron emission surface emitting a secondary electron corresponding to an incident electron, which comprises an oxidizing agent comprising at least one tungstate having an alkali metal ion as a counter cation and a reducing agent for reducing the above cation. The above metal generating agent (1), which includes a tungstate having weaker oxidizing power than that of a chromate, undergoes slower oxidation-reduction reaction, which results in easier reaction rate control as compared to a conventional technique using a chromate, leading to the generation of an alkali metal with good stability.
Abstract:
A spectroscopic device (10) comprising an optical fiber bundle (12) having its output end (12a) arranged in a vertical direction, a slit (16) provided so as to face the output end (12a) of the optical fiber bundle (12), a spectroscopic element arranging means (20) capable of arranging, on the optical path of light output from the output end (12a) of the bundle (12) and passed through the slit (16), a first diffraction grating (23) provided with a groove extending along a vertical direction at a specified line dispersion horizontally and a second diffraction grating (24) provided with a groove extending along a vertical direction at a line dispersion larger than that for the first diffraction grating (23) horizontally so as to enable switching between the diffraction gratings, and a photomultiplier (30) comprising a plurality of horizontally-arranged rows of anodes (53) extending along a vertical direction.
Abstract:
An alkali metal generating agent (1) for use in forming a photoelectric surface emitting a photoelectron corresponding to an incident light or a secondary electron emission surface emitting a secondary electron corresponding to an incident electron, which comprises an oxidizing agent comprising at least one molybdate having an alkali metal ion as a counter cation and a reducing agent for reducing the above cation. The above metal generating agent (1), which includes a molybdate having weaker oxidizing power than that of a chromate, undergoes slower oxidation-reduction reaction, which results in easier reaction rate control as compared to a conventional technique using a chromate, leading to the generation of an alkali metal with good stability.
Abstract:
An alkali metal generating agent (1) for use in forming a photoelectric surface emitting a photoelectron corresponding to an incident light or a secondary electron emission surface emitting a secondary electron corresponding to an incident electron, which comprises an oxidizing agent comprising at least one vanadate having an alkali metal ion as a counter cation and a reducing agent for reducing the above cation. The above metal generating agent (1), which includes a vanadate having weaker oxidizing power than that of a chromate, undergoes slower oxidation-reduction reaction, which results in easier reaction rate control as compared to a conventional technique using a chromate, leading to the generation of an alkali metal with good stability.
Abstract:
A radiation sensor (10) comprising a scintillator (16) disposed on the incident light faceplate of a photomultiplier tube through an optical coupling member (14), in which a coating film (FLM) is so provided as to cover the scintillator and at least a part of a side tube (12b) of the photomultiplier tube. The scintillator is firmly secured to the photomultiplier tube through the coating film (FLM), and therefore the size of the radiation sensor is prevented from increasing.
