Detector proportional

B10 lined or BF3 gas-filled proportional counters are normally used as source range detectors. Proportional counter output is in the form of one pulse for every ionizing event therefore, there is a series of random pulses varying in magnitude representing neutron and gamma ionizing events.

Detectors used in X-ray astronomy include proportional counters, microchannel plates, and charge-coupled devices and other solid-state detectors. Proportional counters were the first type of X-ray detector used in astronomy and are the most common astronomical X-ray detector in use today. Proportional counters consist of an electrically neutral gas (usually argon or xenon) in a sealed chamber. As an X-ray enters the chamber, it can photoionize a gas atom, producing a photoelectron that can then be amplified and detected. Modern proportional counters can detect the position of the incident X-ray along with its time of arrival... 

For this kind of case, a modification of the dilution method is being developed. Instead of using an external fixed-geometry measurement chamber, a suitable part of the process, e.g. a stretch of pipe, is used. A radiation detector is mounted on the outside of the pipe, and a tracer emitting sufficiently hard gamma radiation is used. As sufficient mixing can be achieved by injecting upstream the separator the radiation level found will be strictly proportional to the concentration and thus inversely proportional to the true flow rate. 

A connnon teclmique used to enliance the signal-to-noise ratio for weak modes is to inject a local oscillator field polarized parallel to the RIKE field at the detector. This local oscillator field is derived from the probe laser and will add coherently to the RIKE field [96]. The relative phase of the local oscillator and the RIKE field is an important parameter in describing the optical heterodyne detected (OHD)-RIKES spectrum. If the local oscillator at the detector is in phase with the probe wave, the heterodyne mtensity is proportional to... 

In the simplest fomi, reflects the time of flight of the ions from the ion source to the detector. This time is proportional to the square root of the mass, i.e., as the masses of the ions increase, they become closer together in flight time. This is a limiting parameter when considering the mass resolution of the TOP instrument. 

There are many types of electronic detector. The original fomi of electronic detector was the Geiger counter, but it was replaced many years ago by the proportional counter, which allows selection of radiation of a particular type or energy. Proportional counters for x-rays are filled witii a gas such as xenon, and those for...

There are a number of observations to be drawn from the above fomuila the relative uncertainty can be reduced to an arbitrarily small value by increasing T, but because the relative uncertainty is proportional to /s/f, a reduction in relative uncertainty by a factor of two requires a factor of four increase in collection time. The relative uncertainty can also be reduced by reducing At. Flere, it is understood that At is the smallest time window that just includes all of the signal. At can be decreased by using the fastest possible detectors, preamplifiers and discriminators and minimizing time dispersion in the section of the experiment ahead of the detectors. 

The amplified signal is passed to a double-balanced mixer configured as a phase-sensitive detector where the two inputs are the NMR signal (cOq) and the frequency of the synthesizer (03. gf) with the output proportional to cos(coq - co gj.)t + 0) + cos((coq + + 9). The sum frequency is much larger than the total bandwidth of the... 

A simple, non-selective pulse starts the experiment. This rotates the equilibrium z magnetization onto the v axis. Note that neither the equilibrium state nor the effect of the pulse depend on the dynamics or the details of the spin Hamiltonian (chemical shifts and coupling constants). The equilibrium density matrix is proportional to F. After the pulse the density matrix is therefore given by and it will evolve as in equation (B2.4.27). If (B2.4.28) is substituted into (B2.4.30), the NMR signal as a fimction of time t, is given by (B2.4.32). In this equation there is a distinction between the sum of the operators weighted by the equilibrium populations, F, from the unweighted sum, 7. The detector sees each spin (but not each coherence ) equally well. 

In the usual preparatioii-evohition-detection paradigm, neither the preparation nor the detection depend on the details of the Hamiltonian, except hi special cases. Starthig from equilibrium, a hard pulse gives a density matrix that is just proportional to F. The detector picks up only the unweighted sum of the spin operators,... 

Optical detectors can routinely measure only intensities (proportional to the square of the electric field), whether of optical pulses, CW beams or quasi-CW beams the latter signifying conditions where the pulse train has an interval between pulses which is much shorter than the response time of the detector. It is clear that experiments must be designed in such a way that pump-induced changes in the sample cause changes in the intensify of the probe pulse or beam. It may happen, for example, that the absorjDtion coefficient of the sample is affected by the pump pulse. In other words, due to the pump pulse the transparency of the sample becomes larger or smaller compared with the unperturbed sample. Let us stress that even when the optical density (OD) of the sample is large, let us say OD 1, and the pump-induced change is relatively weak, say 10 , it is the latter that carries positive infonnation. 

UV/Vis detectors are among the most popular. Because absorbance is directly proportional to path length, the capillary tubing s small diameter leads to signals that are smaller than those obtained in HPLC. Several approaches have been used to increase the path length, including a Z-shaped sample cell or multiple reflections (Figure 12.44). Detection limits are about 10 M. 

A mass spectrum consists of peaks corresponding to ions. The position of a peak on the x-axis is proportional to its mass (strictly, its m/z value), while the height of the peak on the y-axis gives the number of ions (abundances) at a particular m/z. The ions giving rise to the spectrum are formed in an ion source and are passed through an analyzer for measurement of m/z and into a detector for measurement of abundance (Figure 32.1). 

Since the distance from the source to the detector is fixed, the time taken for an ion to traverse the analyzer in a straight line is proportional to its velocity and hence its mass (strictly, proportional to the square root of its m/z value). Thus each m/z value has its characteristic time of flight from the source to the detector.
