A detector on the basis of an activated p-terphenyl single crystal and a silicon photomultiplier

摘要

The design of a compact detector on the basis of an activated p-terphenyl single crystal with signal registration using a silicon photomultiplier is described. The results of measurements of the detector characteristics during detection of beta-hyphen particles are presented. The prospects of the detector application in modern scintillation instruments for space research are mentioned.
