Description
This work introduces the embedment of a radiation detection unit within a metal detector. The radiation sensor, based on the Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) coupled to a scintillation crystal, was successfully incorporated into a common metal detection unit. The results for sensitivity are presented. The study also shows that SiPM is not affected by microphone noises (which make PIN-diodes improper to some applications) and by the alternating type of the voltage supply (which means that SiPM can be used either in portable or in stationary applications)
