A gamma-ray spectrometer based on MAPD-3NM-2 and LaBr3(ce) and LSO scintillators for hydrogen detection on planetary surfaces

Abstract The presented work is dedicated to the detection of hydrogen, using detectors based on a MAPD (Micropixel Avalanche Photodiode) array based on new MAPD-3NM-2 type photodiodes and two different scintillators (LaBr3(Ce) and LSO(Ce)). The physical parameters of the MAPD photodiode used in the...

description Abstract The presented work is dedicated to the detection of hydrogen, using detectors based on a MAPD (Micropixel Avalanche Photodiode) array based on new MAPD-3NM-2 type photodiodes and two different scintillators (LaBr3(Ce) and LSO(Ce)). The physical parameters of the MAPD photodiode used in the study and the intrinsic background of the scintillators were investigated. For the 2.223 MeV energy gamma-ray indicating the presence of hydrogen, the energy resolution was 6.89% with the MAPD array and LSO scintillator-based detector, and the number of events corresponding to this energy was 4817. With the MAPD array and LaBr3(Ce) scintillator, the energy resolution for the 2.223 MeV gamma-ray was 3.55%, and the number of events corresponding to this energy was 3868. The LSO scintillator-based detector allowed for the detection of 24.5% more 2.223 MeV energy gamma-rays compared to the LaBr3(Ce) scintillator. For the 2.223 MeV gamma-ray associated with hydrogen, the energy resolution with the LaBr3(Ce) scintillator was 48.5% better than with the LSO scintillator. The lower energy resolution compared to the LSO is due to the higher light output of LaBr3(Ce). The obtained results experimentally demonstrate that it is possible to obtain information about the presence of hydrogen in the target using both detectors.
