A positron camera for industrial application

Abstract

A positron camera for application to flow tracing and measurement in mechanical subjects is described. It is based on two 300 × 600 mm2 hybrid multiwire detectors; the cathodes are in the form of lead strips plated onto printed-circuit board, and delay lines are used to determine the location of photon interactions. Measurements of the positron detection efficiency (30 Hz μCi−1 for a centred unshielded source), the maximum data logging rate (3 …
