Description
Fundamental characteristics of the plastic-scintillating fiber (PSF) for wide energy range of electromagnetic radiation (X and γ) have been studied to evaluate possibility of using the PSF as an imaging detector for industrial purposes. Monte-Carlo based simulation program (GEANT4.5.1, 2003) was used to generate the data. In order to evaluate image quality of the detector, the fiber array was irradiated under high energy and flux and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Detector Quantum Efficiency (DQE) and Modulate Transfer Function (MTF) were obtained. From the analysis, the authors have found that some properties of PSF are different from those of traditional screen-film, and can conclude that it is possible to apply PSF to the imaging of high-energy incident beam.
