Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, devices, processes, and algorithms for adapting and/or adjusting a reflectivity of a reflector in a radiation detector. The reflectivity can be changed by a reflectivity control signal that is generated based on an estimated count rate of events so as to adjust a probability of a photosensor detecting light resulting from the event via, for example, a scintillation event. By adjusting the probability, an energy resolution of the radiation detector can be optimized. The reflectivity of a reflector can be changed by changing a state of a thin film, a liquid crystal layer, or a suspended magnetic particle layer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for radiation detection, comprising: a radiation detector that includes a scintillator, a photosensor and a reflector, the reflector including a plurality of liquid crystal layers that are each separately tuned to filter or absorb different ranges of wavelengths; a rate counter configured to estimate, based on an output signal from the radiation detector, a count rate of events detected by the radiation detector; and a controller configure…
