Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radiation detection apparatus can include a scintillator, a photosensor optically coupled to the scintillator, and a control module electrically coupled to the photosensor. The control module can be configured to receive a pulse from the photosensor and identify a cause of noise corresponding to the pulse. Such information can be useful in determining failure modes and potentially predict future failures of radiation detection apparatuses. In another embodiment, the wavelet discrimination can be used to determine whether or not the pulse corresponds to a scintillation pulse, and potentially to identify a type of radiation or a radiation source. The technique is robust to work over a variety of temperatures, and particularly, at temperatures significantly higher than room temperature.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A radiation detection apparatus comprising: a scintillator; a photosensor optically coupled to the scintillator; and a control module electrically coupled to the photosensor, wherein the control module is configured to: analyze state information associated with the radiation detection apparatus; receive a pulse from the photosensor; generate a wavelet transformed pulse from the received pulse; determine from the state information and the wavelet t…
