  • Patent number: 10386499
    Abstract: A device for determining a dose deposited in a scintillator by an ionizing radiation, comprises: a scintillator configured to be irradiated by the ionizing radiation and capable of emitting scintillation photons during interaction with the ionizing radiation; a measurement device comprising a single photodetector, the photodetector being a low-noise photodetector, the determination device being configured in such a way that the photodetector functions in single photon counting mode, the photodetector supplying, at the output of same, a measurement of the total intensity of light received by the photodetector from the scintillator; and an analyzer configured to determine a dose deposited in the scintillator by the ionizing radiation from the total intensity alone of light measured by the photodetector and a predetermined constant dependent only on the scintillator, the light output of the determination device and the type of ionizing radiation.

  • Patent number: 9244178
    Abstract: Method of determination of an irradiation dose deposited in a scintillator (5) by ionising radiation, comprising the steps of: irradiating the scintillator (5) during a predetermined time; detecting a moment of excitation of the scintillator (5) with a first photodetector (11); then detecting a moment of reception of a scintillation photon with a second photodetector (14), functioning in single photon counting mode; identifying each sequence consisting of the detection of a moment of excitation by the first photodetector (11), and the detection of a moment of reception by the second photodetector (14) with a coincidence event; counting the number of coincidence events; obtaining the irradiation dose deposited during the irradiation time as a function of the number of coincidence events counted and of a predetermined proportionality factor.

  • Patent number: 8389940
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel discriminating molecule family for neutron and gamma radiation, and to the preparation method thereof. Said molecules are also useful for detecting radiation (X, gamma, electrons, protons, ions), and thus for manufacturing radar, and industrial or medical dosimetry instruments.
