Description

For prompt physical diagnosis, several types of subnanosecond current mode detectors have been developed, including scintillator detectors with large linear output current, GaAs:Cr and In P:Fe photoconductor detectors (PCD), and X-ray diodes (XRD), etc. The characteristic of scintillation light of BaF2 crystal doped with La and of plastic scintillator ST1422 with slow component quencher are described. As for the photoconductor detectors, the main performance of neutron damaged GaAs:Cr and InP:Fe were studied. In addition, the spectra response of an XRD with coaxial leading-out end was also studied. These detectors have been successfully applied to nuclear test diagnosis and ICF research
